"We live for one purpose only: to serve, to live fully and vibrantly beyond the confines of concepts like me, my group, my country, my race, my species, my everything. This is to live in grace, in the beauty of every moment, to be awake."
Photos from The Temple of 10,000 Buddhas in Ontario Canada a couple years ago.
I'd like to meet:
Neil Young, The Dalai Lama, Thubten Chodron, Angelina Jolie, Les Claypool (again, because once was not enough!), and anyone else who can bring something new, exciting, and good to my life.The unmanipulated movement of the breath comes by itself, a continual and natural expression of the simplicity of here and now.
I feel the tug of something greater, But I don't know why?
I feel the urge to let go, But I don't know how?
I am drawn to circle the flame, But I don't know why?
Tell me Beloved, why am I wracked with light admidst gathering darkness?
I feel the tug of something greater.
~Michael Black
The way to you,
lies clearly in my heart,
and cannot be seen or known to the mind.
As my words turn to silence,
your sweetness surrounds me.
~Hakim Sanai
~Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. -Benjamin Franklin
What is the lyricism of light?
It is a sutra of love through the heart;
a song of surrender
that every atom of creation sings;
a Buddha of the shining mind.
What company we keep
will be judged.
Stay close to the lovers.
Keep close to the open-hearted.
Poetry wears our truth like rags
but it forms our real being.
The earth feeds us from its green heart.
We survive the beauty.
We die wanting it.
Poems break open the earth of us
and make room for our souls.
What we open in this world
flowers in heaven.
If we blink once
all the angels fly away.
But if we blink twice
we will see that the universe has come back
as our poem.
There is a music we can never sing
without being the throat of a great surrender.
Our death song is our life song.
What we give away
always comes back original and deathless--
the lyricism of our shining light.
~Eric Ashford
