Equal dignity in the eyes of the law. Finally.
My heart is singing and I am thinking of so many friends…. Love reigns, love rules, love is all you need, let there be more love in the world…..
Celebrating love today!
“A lifetime without Love is of no account
Love is the Water of Life
Drink it down with heart and soul!”
-Rumi
Ask four questions;
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?
Does it improve on silence?
This I understand is the Buddhist way of deciding whether to break a silence. I think it vitally important and compassionate to consider all of these before speaking. Words have power that resonate long after they’ve been spoken. To take care and be impeccable with your word, as The Four Agreements teach us, is a loving way to go about our days. Every hour I endeavor to do so – some days better than others…. It’s a learning journey we’re all on, so I’ll be kind to myself and others when we fall short of the mark.
“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea.”
-Mikhail Lermontov
A shimmering moonglow fog
Awakened me
Encompassing everything,
but surely it is easily permeable?
But not tonight.
Instead, I will dwell on
my husband’s breathing and Little Bear’s dreaming.
No need to push aside the veil.
What is it about living with the wild ones?
I only know that it is necessary.

“Set your life on fire.
Seek those who fan your flames.”
-Rumi
“Tis my faith that every flower,
Enjoys the air it breathes.”-William Wordsworth
“Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.
Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe, breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside.
Next, breathe up all fecundity and vibrancy of the earth.
Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself”
-Morithei Ueshiba
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”~ Leonardo da Vinci
