A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship. Rainer Maria Rilke

Genesis · 09-08-2016, 01:48 PM

“Water does not resist. Water flows.
When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress.
Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you.
But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it.
Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone.
Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water.
If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
- Margaret Atwood - The Penelopiad

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It's just there and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks.
Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story."
- Linda Hogan

Genesis · 09-13-2016, 12:30 PM

“When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness.
Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines,
forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness.”
- Thomas Moore

Genesis · 09-13-2016, 12:31 PM

“Every breath is a sacrament, an affirmation of our connection with all other living things,
a renewal of our link with our ancestors and a contribution to generations yet to come.
Our breath is a part of life's breath, the ocean of air that envelopes the earth.”
- David Suzuki, The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature

Genesis · 09-14-2016, 01:15 PM

The moment when, after many years
of hard work and a long voyage,
you stand in the centre of your room,
house, half-acre, square mile, island, country,
knowing at last how you got there,
and say, I own this,
is the same moment the trees unloose
their soft arms from around you,
the birds take back their language,
the cliffs fissure and collapse,
the air moves back from you like a wave
and you can’t breathe.
No, they whisper. You own nothing.
You were a visitor, time after time
Climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming.
We never belonged to you.
You never found us.
It was always the other way round.
- Margaret Atwood

Slow breath · 09-18-2016, 03:51 PM

She let go.
Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

Genesis · 09-18-2016, 08:30 PM

As a rule, we must not be the slaves of passion; rather,
we must be the possessors of great passions.
Through passion commences power, but passions should not direct our paths;
rather, passions should be our bridled horses, with us commanding whence and to they be directed.
Our passions must not take their own courses; but they must be directed by us into which course they ought to take.
Modern day people blindly follow the notion that to be slaves to their passions is to be free!
But for one to be the Master of one's passions is to be not only free - but powerful.

- C. JoyBell C.
