“You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all- powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”
SALUTATION TO THE DAWN
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the verities
And realities of your existence
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today, well lived, makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.
Sanskrit poem
“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
DON’T GO BACK TO SLEEP
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn’t decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the door sill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
Rumi
“When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.”
