Water nourishes
The hungriest of soil
Fills the sap
Of tallest trees
Water released
Through the clouds
Pours energy into me
Water comprises
Most of my body
Water covers
Most of the earth
For what is life without water
A desert?
What is my soul without rain
Barren?
Water cleanses me
No matter how dirty I am
Water quenches my thirst
No matter how thirsty
Water heals me
No matter…

We stood at the airport
Knowing
The moment was near
That I would fly away
And we would never
See each other again
Your face
The image of you waving goodbye
Tears flowing down your cheeks
As I turned to look at you
One last time
Languishes in my memory
The way only foreign things can
The pain of leaving a place
You know you can never fully understand
As an outsider
And yet
It is somehow part of me…

Doorway into the Now
by Gina Lake @ radicalhappines..s.com
..The present moment is where we meet our true Self. It is where we can discover who we really are. The Self resides and abides in the present moment, not in some thought about the future or the past or even the present. Who we really are is not who we think we are. Who we really are has nothing to do with thinking and everything to do with not thinking. It is in not thinking that we can experience the present…

One translation of the Buddha teachings on loving kindness reads, in part, as follows:
"This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who seeks the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature
Let…

Jamás permitas que tu corazón sufra en nombre del amor,
amar es un acto de felicidad, no de sufrimiento….
Jamás permitas que tus ojos derramen lágrimas por
alguien que nunca te hará reir
Jamás permitas que tu cuerpo sea usado, es la morada de tu espíritu, mantenlo apreciado….
Jamás permitas quedarte horas esperando por alguien que nunca vendrá, aunque te lo tenga prometido…
Jamás permitas…

33- It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun, and the moon; each of them floating in an orbit. (21-The Prophets, 33)
THE MIRACLE IN THE USE OF EVERY SINGLE WORD
As one can see, every single word and suffix has been carefully selected. The Arabic equivalent of the expression “to float” is “sabaha.” Maurice Bucaille says the harmony of the movements of the sun,…

How to Trust Your Trust
Ginny Grey
..
A quiet confidence. An inner certainty. A knowing deep within that all is well even though it may not appear so on the outside. Trust demands that we let go of fears, worry, doubt and despair which drag us down. Trust lifts us up to higher elevations where we see the bigger picture in life and know that things are happening for a reason in their own time and for our own benefit, if only we will believe this and not…

Friends,
This is my first entry in this space since joining many months ago. As I'm sure many of you can relate, those of us who are active in the peace movement are pulled in many directions. Raising children, folding laundry, going to work everyday, feeding the fish so they may live another day...these tasks often take precedence over our innate desire to 'be'. The desire to be ourselves that Kat so beautifully articulated with her poetry and song. But the time is ripe with energy for…

stopped. I was overwhelmed and my emotions we're all over the place.I decided to seek peace it's not always easy
for me, you see I'm my own worst enemy. Last week I went back to the doctor just to be told I not only have anal cancer I also now have…
