traveling paths

Par mi solo recorrer los caminos que tienen corazon, cualquier camino que tenga corazon.

por ahi yo recorro, y la unica prueba que vale es atravesar todo su largo. Y por ahi

yo recorro mirando, mirando, sin aliento.

(For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel,a dn the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And I travel looking, looking,… Continue

Here Comes Your Love,

God said:

Love does not mean dependence. Your love is to set others free and yourself as well. Love does not bind. It does not bind the other nor does it bind you. You are not a prisoner of

love. You are a fulfiller of love. You are the responder and receiver of

love.

Love calls to you and meets itself within your heart. Love resides in the heart at the very moment it is given. Love is multi-directioned. It is not hoarded, nor is it…

never for the mean

Give all to love;

Obey thy heart;

Friends, kindred, days

Estate, good fame,

Plans, credit and the Muse,

Nothing refuse.

"Tis a brave master;

Let it have scope:

Follow it utterly,

Hope beyond hope:

High and more high

It dives into noon,

With wing unspent,

Untold intent;

But it is a God,

knows its own path,

And the outlets of the sky.

It was never for the mean;

It requireth courage stout,

Souls above… Continue

spirit. As the light of your healing love surrounds loved ones, may peace be restored…

Lead Kindly Light

LEAD, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,

Lead thou me on!

The night is dark, and I am far from home,

Lead thou me on!

Keep thou my feet! I do not ask to see

The distant scene, one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou…

All is Love

Love courses through everything,

No, Love is everything

How can you say, there is no love.

when nothing but Love exists?

All that you see has appeared because of Love.

All shines from Love.

All pulses from Love,

All flows from Love~

No, once again all is Love!…

Garden of Thoughts

Dig a hole in the garden of your thoughts. Into it put all your disillusions, disappointments, regrets, worries, troubles, doubts and fears, and forget. Cover well with the earth of fruitfulness. Water it from the well of contentment. Sow on top the seeds of hope, courage, strength, patience and love. Then, when the time of gathering comes, you your harvest be a rich and fruitful one.

Love quote

Added by melody on October 14, 2010 at 6:35am — 1 Comment

This World of Ours

Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours

For one lone soul another lonely soul,

Each choosing each through all the weary hours,

And meeting strangely at one sudden goal,

Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers,

Into one beautiful perfect whole;

And life's long night is ended, and the way

Lies open onward to eternal day.

receiving love

We receive love~from our children as well as others~not in proportion to our demands or sacrifices or needs, but roughly in proportion to our own capacity to love. And our capacity to love depends, in turn upon our prior capacity to be person in our own right. "To love means essentially to give, and to give requires a maturity of self-feeling. Love is shown in the statement of Spinoza's . . . that truly loving God does not involve a demand for love in return. It is the attitude referred… Continue

Like a book

The family is like a book~
The children are the leaves,
The parents are the covers
That protecting beauty gives.

At first the pages of the book
Are blank and purely fair,
But Time soon writeth memories
And painteth pictures there.

Letting go

We do not live merely to "do something"~now matter what. We do not live more fully merely by doing more, seeing more, tasting more, and experiencing more than we ever have before.

On the contrary, some of us need to discover that we will not begin to live more fully until we have the courage to do and see and taste and experience much less than usual.

Thomas Merton

Excerpted from: God is your… Continue

FAITH

BETTER trust all and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Then doubt one heart that, if believed,
had blessed one's life with true believing.

Oh, in this mocking world, too fast
The doubting fiend o'ertakes our youth;
Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope of truth.

streams

"As I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God... and the hand of the Lord was there upon me" (Ezek. 1:1,3).

There is no commentator of the Scriptures half so valuable as a captivity. The old Psalms have quavered for us with a new pathos as we sat by our "Babel's stream," and have sounded for us with new joy as we found our captivity… Continue

Finding Balance

Three ways I can move into greater expressions of peace, right now, are:

- Laugh about and love the times I am not in peace with myself, others and

life.

- Forgive myself for judging myself & others for moving out of our peaceful

nature.

- See the peaceful way in each situation.

This was nice to be and brought me into greater joy and peace!" (DS, USA)

We continue with a quote and process from John Roger, Founder of IIWP:

" Breathe in… Continue

A point of rest.

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ . . . and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:4-6).

This is our rightful place, to be "seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus," and to "sit still" there. But how few there are who make it their actual… Continue
