WITNESSES

I need not shout my faith. Thrice eloquent
Are quiet trees and the green listening
sod:
Hushed are the stars, who power is
never spent;
The hill are mute: yet how they speak
of God!

Bowl of Saki

Why is God called the Creator? Because the creation itself is the evidence of some wisdom working. No mechanical creation could result in such perfection as that of nature. All the machines of the scientists are built on the model of nature's mechanism, and every inspiration that comes to the artist is received from nature. Nature is so perfect in itself that it needs no scientific or artistic improvement upon it; but to satisfy the limited human fancies man develops science and art. And yet it… Continue

OUTWITTED

He drew a circle that shut me out~
heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

A Hundred Objects

A HUNDRED OBJECTS CLOSE BY

I know a cure for sadness:

Let your hands touch something that

makes your eyes

smile.

I bet there are a hundred objects close by

that can do that.

Look at

beauty's gift to us~

her power is so great she enlivens

the earth, the sky, our

soul.

Mira

God is my partner~~~I love this!!!

You cannot look into the world for the fulfillment of desire and look to Spirit at the same time.

It's a mirror.

You find that if you lust, lust finds you.

If you seek sensation, sensation finds you.

If you seek love, love comes to you.

And if you stand within your own natural, neutral space, you are able to choose the time, the place, and the extent of your participation.

From The Tao of Spirit by John-Roger, DSS

Accepting Change.

When you choose to accept rather than demand change,

when you chose to support rather than critisize,

you choose to love rather than hurt, that is when

something inside you… Continue

Bowl of Saki...

If only we could recognize the inner voice, we would see that the different scriptures all contain words spoken by one and the same voice. Some hear the voice, others only hear the words, just as in nature some see only the branches and others the roots of the tree; but all these different scriptures and ways of worship and of contemplating God are given for one purpose: the realization of unity. In unity resides the happiness and illumination of man, and his guidance in life. We all know unity… Continue

The Voice of Knowledge

"...Sometimes in the reflection of somebody else, we can see our own magnificence. By experiencing the love of another person, we can see how great we are. From one artist to another, we might see it's possible to improve our own art..."

Receiving seed into the good ground

HE does not need to transplant us into a different field, but right where we are, with just the circumstances that surround us. He makes His sun to shine and His dew to fall upon us, and transforms the very things that were before our greatest hindrances, into the chiefest and most blessed means of our growth. No difficulties in you case can baffle Him. No dwarfing of your growth in years that are past, no apparent dryness of your inward springs of life, no crookedness, or deformity in any of… Continue

Who so is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. - PS. cvii.43

WHAT channel needs our faith, except the eyes?

God leaves no spot of earth unglorified;

Profuse and wasteful, lovelinesses rise;

new beauties dawn before the old have died.

Trust thou thy joys in keeping of the Power

Who holds these changing shadows in His hand,

Believe and live, and know that hour by hour

Will ripple… Continue

possess your soul in peace

IN your occupations, try to possess your soul in peace. It is not a good plan to b in haste to perform any action it may be the sooner over. On the contrary, you should accustom yourself to do whatever you have to do with tranquility, in order that you may retain the possession of yourself and of setttled peace.

GRATITUDE MUST BEGIN WITH THE ONE WHO CREATED US because we receive the greatest gift from our Creator: Life. How can we sincerely show our gratitude to God and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts? The best way to show our gratitude is to receive the gift, and give our thanks by enjoying the gift, by living our lives fully and completely.

prayer for GRATITUDE:

TODAY, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, MY HEART IS filled with gratitude for the gift of life you… Continue

peace in your soul

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for… Continue

Peace that is Present:

Hello Dear Peacemakers,

We invite you to take a moment now to attune to the Peace that is Present:

Focus on your breathing.

Let your body relax, and be aware of the sounds around you.

Whatever you hear, focus on your breath as it moves in and out,

Bringing you into the here and now.

This is where loving and peace reside.

Relax into the loving.

Be aware of peace radiating through you and extending out from you,

To gently hold… Continue

shifting

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
