Saying yes

DSCN0445

I rarely let the word “no” escape

from my mouth

because it is plain to my soul

that God has shouted “Yes, Yes, Yes!”

to every luminous moment of existence.

Hafiz

 

Moments

cowslips

There is no such thing as a charmed life, not for any of us, no matter where we live or how mindfully we attend to the tasks at hand. But there are charmed moments, all the time, in every life and in every day, if we are only awake enough to experience them when they come and wise enough to appreciate them.

Sacred

When you treat your time as though you are a machine;

a doing machine;

you are committing violence against the sacredness of life itself.

If you want the truth, I will tell you the truth:

Listen to the secret sound,

the real sound,

which is within you

Kabir

 

Look differently

Things don’t change.

You change your way of looking, that’s all

But listen to me.

For one moment quit being sad.

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms
around you.
