“It is never too late
to be
who you might have been.”
– George Eliot
There is no end.
We don’t live
for the moment.
We are alive
to live
in
the moment –
this moment,
that may be
all moments
in one.
And this moment
is Beautiful.
No,
not the place,
not this space,
but
YOU,
and YOUR trace
in Time.
Our dreams can come true.
We don’t live
to dream.
We dream
of truly living.
For Life
is lived
not in living,
but in dreaming
of Life
as it could be
lived,
as if
we live
in a dream,
as if
our dreams
can come true.
This moment is Beautiful.
When
can Life begin
again?
As Life
unfurls its splendor
we may come to realize
there is no
end,
only the beginning,
over and over
again.
Such is Life
that we cannot
be blinded by the
Truth,
only illumined.
“Let him who would move the World,
first move himself.”
– Socrates
In Life,
all its Blessings
are disguised
as YOU.
And within,
you will find
that there is no
Home,
but
the Heart.
And the knocking
you hear
at the door,
is your precious Heart
beating in Time
with everything you
adore,
everything you implore
to wake again
in the Light
of each new Day
that dawns in your
Dreams,
and longs
to stay
embedded in your
Prayers,
and birthed
by a breathless word
that is whispered
by the Song
of your Life –
the Music
of each moment
you are alive.
“Nature loves courage.
You make the commitment
and Nature will respond to that commitment
by removing impossible obstacles.
Dream the impossible dream
and the world will not grind you under,
it will lift you up.”
– Terence McKenna
A breathless word that is whispered.
My Friend,
every day
is Birth Day:
awakening
to a rising Sun
with Hope
in our Hearts.
“We are playing a game.
What you are basically, deep, deep down, far, far in,
is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.
Reality itself is the fullness of total Joy.
But however, there’s no point of just sustaining this.
Let’s supposes that you were able every night to dream
any dream you wanted to dream.
You would fulfill all your wishes.
And after several nights, you would say
‘well that was pretty great’.
But now let’s have a surprise.
Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control.
Then, you would get more and more adventurous
and finally you would dream where you are
now.”
– Alan Watts
Yes,
every day
is Birth Day.
As if
we are born again,
God
lights the big Candle
in the Sky,
and blows it out
at end of day,
with a wish
for our Tomorrow.
“What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies
within us.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every Star
that shines at night,
brings a ray of Hope
ever so bright
for every one
in need of a Home,
for Hope.
And
the Light of your
Life
can shine just as
bright,
to show the way,
for someone else
in endless night.
There is no Home but the Heart.
My Dear Friend,
it’s not
the Winter wind
that’s cold.
It is knowing
you do not know,
that the World
is warmed
by your Heart.
You
cannot be blinded
by the Light
of day,
only
by the dark
of night,
the night that surrounds us,
is all around us,
day and night.
For the Stars
are not in this sky
at night.
They are in
your eyes,
and they shine
so bright.
Always know
that your Life
is the Light
of someone’s
World.
Goodnight.
.
“O World-ignorance,
Although You have shackled my feet,
I am free.
Although You have chained my hands,
I am free.
Although You have enslaved my body,
I am free.
I am free because
I am not of the body.
I am free because
I am not the body.
I am free because
I am the Soul-Bird
that flies in Infinity-Sky.
I am the Soul-Child
that dreams On the Lap
of the Immortal King Supreme.”
– Poem by Sri Chinmoy (1931-2007)
Spiritual teacher, artist, poet and student of peace.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.”
– George Bernard Shaw
For Philosophy this week: Project Nim
Taken out of his natural environment from birth, Nim was raised and nurtured like a Human child to discover if he could communicate with language. Following Nim’s extraordinary journey through Human society and the enduring impact he makes upon people along the way, this is a biography of an animal we tried to make Human. What we learn about his true nature, and indeed OUR OWN, is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
‘I will try again Tomorrow’.”
