Three bedtime verses for tonight

Published September 15, 2010 | By Debra

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.
