The Promise

Posted in Inspiration, Life, Metaphysical, Seth, Spirituality, tagged , , , , on January 31, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Optimism is reflected in many areas of life.
Many birds in their fantastic migrations demonstrate an amazing optimism, traveling thousands of miles to distant shores, almost literally flying by faith, as it were, ignoring all dangers, unbesieged by doubts.
There is no hesitancy, but the sure flight. Birds do not question whether or not the weather will [...]

I just finished reading Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella.  Perhaps you thought I read metaphysical/consciousness stuff all the time.  I do read a lot of that but once in a while, I temper all that seriousness with lighthearted and fun reading.  So, I adored the book, hated that it was over, when I reached [...]

The Book of Monastic Life I,59 ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Posted in Inspiration, Poetry, Rainer Maria Rilke, Spirituality, tagged , , , , on January 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going.  [...]

The Black Sun

Posted in Inspiration, Life, Love, Poetry, tagged , , on January 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Truth is
when the heart grows cold enough
everything disappears. Even the self
is invisible (though the mind
would prefer a word like “detained”).
If you can’t feel anything
the whole world is “detained” —
our lives happening and unhappening
at what seems a safe distance.
But that
is all a seeming, an apparition.
There is only one
distance, which is love, one real
choice, and if we [...]

My Valhalla

Forget The Museum of Natural History,
The Metropolitan or The Smithsonian.
The collection I want to wander in
I call the Valhalla of Lost Things.
The Venus de Milo’s arms are here,
she’s grown quite attached to them.
I circle Leonardo’s sixteen-foot-tall
equestrian statue, never cast, browse
all five-hundred-thousand volumes
of The Alexandrian Library, handle
artifacts of Atlantis. Here are all
the ballades and rondeaux [...]

The Gift of Inner Peace

Posted in Abraham Hicks, Happiness, Inspiration, Life, Metaphysical, Spirituality, tagged , , , , on December 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »

What if we believed all things were unfolding for our good — not just some of our experiences but ALL of them?  Well, what if we did?  That would eliminate all anxiety, fear and worry.  It would essentially rid us of all suffering.  But it would require something of us.  We’d have to suspend all [...]

Recently someone I consider to be a wise teacher in my life, Philip Golabuk, stated that we are too much with the world and not enough with the self.  I pondered what was the meaning of this statement.  What does it really mean?
I’ve come to see it means I am too much with trying [...]

Anais Nin Wisdom & Quotes

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We [...]

The Sophie’s Choice

Posted in Abraham Hicks, Inspiration, Life, Metaphysical, Spirituality, tagged , , , on November 5, 2009 | 8 Comments »

Sophie’s Choice, as some of you may remember was an American film from the early 80s.  Since then the term “Sophie’s Choice” has come to symbolize a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” standard of choice.  It’s really the no-choice.  As in the movie, Sophie must make the choice between her son living [...]

Spiritual Goody Two Shoes

Yes, that was me – aspiring Spiritual Goody Two Shoes.  Just before I was about to receive my certification in Spiritual Goody Two Shoes, I had the sudden realization that I have a dark side.  Well, let’s be clear it wasn’t a sudden realization so much as a willingness to take a look in my [...]
