A person’s soul is part of the whole.
When it breathes through his intellect, it is genius;
when it breathes through his will, it is virtue;
when it flows through his affection, it is love.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.
– John Muir
This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
this one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else
which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.
– Mary Oliver, Poem of the One World
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
– William Blake
Each life is clothed in raiment of spirit that secretly links it to everything else.
– John O’Donohue
Every particle of the world is a mirror,
In each atom lies the blazing light
of a thousand suns.
Cleave the heart of a raindrop,
a hundred pure oceans will flow forth.
Look closely at a grain of sand,
The seed of a thousand beings can be seen.
The foot of an ant is larger than an elephant;
In essence, a drop of water
is no different than the Nile.
In the heart of a barely-corn
lies the fruit of a hundred harvests;
Within the pulp of a millet seed
an entire universe can be found.
In the wing of a fly, an ocean of wonder;
In the pupil of the eye, an endless heaven.
Though the inner chamber of the heart is small,
the Lord of both worlds
gladly makes his home there.
– Mahmoud Shabestari
There is a place in the heart where everything meets.
Go there if you want to find me.
Mind, senses, soul, eternity, all are there.
Are you there?
Enter the bowl of vastness that is the heart.
Give yourself to it with total abandon….
Once you know the way
The nature of attention will call you
To return, again and again,
And be saturated with knowing,
“I belong here, I am at home here.”
– Radiance sutras, tr. Lorin Roche
Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn’t one.
– Terence James Stannus Gray, aka Wei Wu Wei
Namaste, my friend
I see the light inside you
No matter the joy or sorrow
That is in your heart right now
Let us sit together
In noble silence or
Conscious conversation
Let us grow together
With compassion
And healing grace
Let us wake up together
Each as a mirror to the other
A reminder of the goodness
The truth of who we are.
– Christy Sharshel
