The Beginning
"Where have I come from, where did you pick me up?
the baby asked its mother.
When in girlhood my heart was opening its petals, you hovered as a fragrance about it.
Your tender softness blossomed in my youthful limbs, like a glow in the sky before the sunrise.
Heaven's first darling, twin-born with the morning light, you have floated down the stream of the world's life, and at last you have stranded on my heart."
The Crescent Moon
Rabindranath Tagore

Life Is Simple

"Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it - it's just easier if you do. If you have a problem, it can only be because of your unquestioned thinking."

Balancing

I'm always amazed how leaves manage to stay attached to their branches
when the snow comes.
It's as if they've been surprised
but hold on all the same - and I marvel at their speckled beauty!
Presences

"Listen to presences inside poems.
Let them take you where they will.
Follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises."
Rumi

Up the steps

I love going up these steps right near my home.
They lead me to all sorts of different walks.
past the weathered grey fence
and then to choose where to go...
In the dusk of the evening

Walking Meditation
"Take my hand.
We will walk.
We will only walk.
We will enjoy our walk
without thinking of arriving anywhere.
Walk peacefully.
Walk happily.
Our walk is a peace walk.
Our walk is a happiness walk.
Then we learn
that there is no peace walk;
that peace is the walk;
that there is no happiness walk;
that happiness is the walk.
We walk for ourselves.
We walk for everyone
always hand in hand.
Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom under our feet.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Print on Earth your love and happiness.
Earth will be safe
when we feel in us enough safety."
Thich Nhat Hanh
