feelings, introspection

I keep hearing/reading from folks that so & so is making them feel such & such. No one is making anyone anything. It is ultimately your choice of reaction/response. Time for folks to have some introspection.

Morgan Farley, quote

I am clearing a space—

Here, where the trees stand back.

I am making a circle so open

The moon will fall in love

And stroke these grasses with her silver.—Morgan Farley

photo, quote

Show me the suffering of the most miserable, so I will know my people’s plight. Free me to pray for others, for you are present in every person. Help me take responsibility for my own life, so that I can be free at last. Grant me courage to serve others, for in service there is true life. Give me honesty and patience, so that the Spirit will be alive among us. Let the Spirit flourish and grow, so that we will never tire of the struggle. Let us remember those who have died for justice, for they have given us life. Help us love even those who hate us, so we can change the world. Cesar Chavez

Peace originates with the flow of things—its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path. Morihei Ueshiba

healing, quote, Wounding

“Wounding and healing are not opposites. They’re part of the same thing. It is our wounds that enable us to be compassionate with the wounds of others. It is our limitations that make us kind to the limitations of other people. It is our loneliness that helps us to find other people or to even know they’re alone with an illness. I think I have served people perfectly with parts of myself I used to be ashamed of. ” Rachel Naomi Remen

my photo, quote

Come back to the heartbeat, the pulse, the rhythm we all walk to, regardless of nation or color. Come back to the breath – inhale, take the world deep into your lungs; exhale, give yourself back fully. This is what the body says: release the peace that lives within your skin.” Gayle Brandeis from, The Body Politic of Peace
