... the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. Mat 13:45-46
Our hearts are heavens
and our eyes are light-years deep
sounding Your will, Your peace, in its unbounded fathoms:
Oh balance all our turning orbits, till that morning
upon the center and level of Your holy love:
then lock our souls forever in the nucleus of its Law.
Thomas Merton/A Book of Hours
Whatever happens in life happens as it must in that moment. So our efforts should not be with struggling to control the way things unfold, but rather in working to awaken from our own sleeping nature that punishes us each time it is not allowed to live out the dream that it has divined!

Adagio (Albinoni)has been one of my very favorite pieces of music. It touches very deep places in me and my heart responds. I didn't know there were words given to the music until I heard Sissel sing it. Oh, yes. Beautiful. Enjoy.
For the "new man"
everything is new.
Even the old
is transfigured in the Holy Spirit
and is always new. There is nothing to cling to,
there is nothing to be hoped for
in what is already past-it is nothing.
The new man is he who can find reality where it cannot be seen by the eyes of the flesh
-where it is not yet-
where it comes into being the moment he sees it.
And would not be (at least for him)
if he did not see it.
The new man lives in a world
that is always being created and renewed.
He lives in this realm of renewal and creation.
He lives in Life.
Thomas Merton. "A Search for Solitude."
The Fragrance of the Rose
The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu’s
dictum: "Those who know, do not say;
Those who say, do not know."
When the master entered,
they asked him what the words meant.
Said the master, "Which of you knows the
fragrance of a rose?"
All of them indicated that they knew.
Then he said, "Put it into words."
All of them were silent...

TO MEET MY ANGELS FOLLOW THIS LINK:
http://www.gratefulness.org/angels/newVisitors.cfm?l=ENGI surrender to love
I surrender to truth
I surrender to God
In my thoughts and actions with myself and towards others
I give my love and considerations of love towards
their wellbeing and my wellbeing.
And towards the highest potentials
that we can achieve with in the choices we make
for the expression of our development towards love,
and loving, and being loved.
In the flow of my life
I choose to give health and harmony
as an expression of love.
I choose to have health
and reflect health and happiness
to those with whom I interact.
I take full responsibility
for my actions and my thoughts,
and my emotional intentions
within the interactions that are expressed by me
towards others and towards myself and towards God.
I choose to join with Divinity
and offer love and accept love
in the journey towards my conscious understanding
of the wholeness that I am.

"Unless you...become as little children"
"Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life--
gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.
To be certain of God means to be uncertain in all our ways,
not knowing what tomorrow may bring.
This is generally expressed with a sigh of sadness,
but it should be an expression of breathless expectation.
We are uncertain of the next step,
but we are certain of God.
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God
and do the task He has placed closest to us,
He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
When we become simply a promoter or a defender
of a particular belief system, something within us dies.
That is not believing God--
it is only believing in our belief about Him.
Jesus said, "...unless you...become as little children..." (Matthew 18:3).
The spiritual life is the life of a child.
We are not uncertain of God,
just uncertain of what He is going to do next.
If our certainty is only in our beliefs,
we develop a sense of self-righteousness,
become overly critical,
and are limited by the view that
our beliefs are complete and settled.
But when we have the right relationship with God,
life is full of spontaneous, joyful
uncertainty and expectancy." From Stephanie
Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations... Ps.119:89-90

Let Go and Let God
Let-go is one of the most beautiful spaces. You simply exist, doing nothing, sitting silently, and the grass grows by itself. You simply enjoy the songs of the birds, the greenness of the trees, the multidimensional, psychedelic colors of the flowers. You don't have to do anything to experience existence; you have to stop doing. You have to be in an absolutely unoccupied state, with no tensions, with no worries.
In this state of tranquility you come into a certain tuning with the music that surrounds us. You suddenly become aware of the beauty of the sun. There are millions of people who have never enjoyed a sunset, who have never enjoyed a sunrise. They cannot afford it. They are continuously working and producing --
Have you ever observed a simple fact: that you become aware of your body only when there is some tension, some strain, some pain? Have you ever become aware of your head without a headache? If your whole body is relaxed, you simply forget that you are a body. And in that forgetfulness of the body is the remembering of a new phenomenon that is hidden inside the body: your spiritual being.
It does not mean that you will become lazy; on the contrary, the more relaxed you are, the more powerful you are, the more energy gathers when you are relaxed. Your work will start having a quality of creativity -- not production. Whatever you will do, you will do with such totality, with such love. And you will have tremendous energy to do it....Osho
