Eyes So Soft

Don't
Surrender
Your loneliness so quickly.
Let it cut more
Deep

Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.

Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice so tender,
My need of God
Absolutely
Clear

Transformation

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered." ~ Nelson Mandela

Silver, The Moon and the Feminine

"Silver is he metal of the moon and because women's biology is connected to the moon, silver is associated with the feminine.   The luminous glow of moonlight lacks the sharp clarity of sunlight, but it's gentleness unfolds, synthesizes, brings together as one.   Feelings and intuition that remain hidden from the sun surface in the moonlight."  Marion Woodman

Chui-ta-ka-ma

This is what the Native American's call the place of choiceless awareness, the place where it is clear which choice is a choice for life, where we can make no other.

"Can you make the choice that's for life even when that choice is hard, when doing so means others will see you as faithless?

Can you make the choice without putting yourself or the other person - no matter who is betrayed, who is the betrayer in this moment, out of your heart?

Sometimes to choose life, we must break agreements; sometimes we must keep them although they are hard to keep."  Oriah

Silence and Truth

"What is silence?   It is deep understanding of the phenomenon that if you prefer, you will be tense.  Whenever you don't prefer, you are relaxed.   When you are relaxed your eyes have clarity.  No thoughts move in the mind: you see the true, you are liberated.   Truth liberates.   Osho
