When there is love, there is beauty.
When love is drying up in your life, look for the beauty around you.
That is where love can be found.

As a question
To be alone for any length of time is to shed an outer skin. The body is inhabited in a different way when we are alone than when we are with others. Alone, we live in our bodies as a question rather than a statement.

Sunday Quote: Island Refuge
Make an island of yourself, make yourself your refuge; there is no other refuge.
Make truth your island, make truth your refuge; there is no other refuge.

The Myth of Urgency
There are never enough hours to satisfy the minions of wants. So close
your eyes and lean into the Oneness that asks nothing of you.
When the calls stack, answer to no one, though you receive them all.
Just open your beautiful hands, born with nothing in them.
You have never been more
complete than in this incomplete moment.
Mark Nepo, The Myth of Urgency
…and Awareness
It is in the brain that everything takes place….
It is in the brain that the poppy is red, that the apple is odorous, that the skylark sings.
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
Sunday Quote: Trust
Unmoored
in midnight water,
no waves, no wind,
the empty boat
is flooded with moonlight
