Behind Which Beauty is Hiding
“Everyone needs a practice which polishes them, to wear away at the obscuring mindstuff which settles like debris on one’s way of seeing. In our hearts, we know there is meaning to it all, an ordering nature to the chaos, but like a dream that slips away into forgetting, we have to practice at coming into its coherency. Without such a practice, we fall prey to the belief that the toxic fog of consensus culture is the real reality. When in fact, it is only the ‘not-beauty’ behind which beauty is hiding.”
-Toko-pa Turner
A Pilgrimage in Itself
“A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.”
-Hafiz
“Silence is a communing of a conscious soul with itself.”
-Henry David Thoreau
Beams of Love
“We are here to learn to endure the beams of love.”
-William Blake
Raise Your Words
“Raise your words
not your voice.
It is rain that grows flowers,
not thunder.”
-Rumi
The Light Always Returns
“What the forest knows and can teach each of us as we walk and pause quietly among the still trees, is that the light always returns.”
-Andrea Fereshtek

The Listening Heaven
“Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.”

Melting into Music
“The snow is melting into music.”
-John Muir
Driven by the Spheres
“I saw eternity the other night,
like a ring of pure and endless light,
All calm as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years,
Driv’n by the spheres…”
-Henry Vaughan
Not Goodbye
For Paul
Thank you for allowing me to say goodbye,
But it isn’t.
I’ll miss knowing you’re on the planet,
But I’ll feel you on the evening breeze
And always hear you in my Heart.
Saying it out loud.
Soul endures.
And eternity is eternal.
Energy is not destroyed, only and always transformed.
Here’s to your transformation!
Teach me from the other side.
And know I will hold you close.
I celebrate your Life and your New Beginning.
I will always celebrate You.
