To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
Time For Rest
Published September 27, 2010 |
There comes a time
When sea and land come to rest.
when even the heavens withdraw.
There comes a time
when weary travellers
need a rest from the journey.
~ Rumi, Rumi Hidden Music Translated by Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin

A fish cannot drown in water,
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
Gold doesn’t vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
Must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God?
~ Mechthild of Magdeberg (1210-1297) from The Enlightened Heart, Edited by Stephen Mitchell

You are searching the world for treasure
but the real treasure is yourself
If you are tempted by bread
you will find only bread
What you seek for
you become
~ Rumi, from Rumi Hidden Magic , translated by Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the world.
~ A Course in Miracles, Foundation For Inner Peace
Good night and sweet dreams.

Love
Published May 24, 2010 | From Rumi Hidden Music:
Do not worry if our harp breaks
thousands more will appear.
We have fallen in the arms of love where all is music.
If all the harps in the world were burned down,
still inside the heart
there will be hidden music playing.
Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die
we have the spark that starts the fire.
The songs we sing
are like foam on the surface of the sea of being
while the precious gems lie deep beneath.
But the tenderness in our songs
is a reflection of what is hidden in the depths.
Stop the flow of your words,
open the window of your heart and
let the spirit speak.
__________________________
Someday, after we have mastered
the winds, the waves, the tide
and gravity, we shall harness for God
the energies of love.
Then, for the second time in history
of the world, man will have discovered fire.
-Pierre Teilhard De Chardin (1881-1955) from Wisdom of the Ages by Wayne Dyer

Love is a verb

As you prepare for sleep tonight enjoy these verses and perhaps meditate on :
- How much God loves you. You are safe and loved. You can meditate and say the mantra “God loves me” as you drift off to sleep.
- You are blessed with many loving and supportive people in your life.
- This is a loving and supportive universe.
- Think of how much you have touched the lives of others today (perhaps without your even knowing) with your love simply by being the loving person that you are.
- Envision your new day tomorrow being filled with loving eyes and smiles reflecting back at your loving eyes and smile.
- Set an intention to greet every person you meet today or tomorrow with eye contact, a smile, and a silent loving thought such as “the light of God in me salutes the light of God in you” (this simple prayer suggested by Marianne Wiliamson in Illuminata p.126) This works well in a crowd as well and thinking this prayer as you gaze at all of the faces in the crowd.
Good night. Namaste.
