Love and Commitment

"Love does not put everything at rest; it puts everything in motion. Love does not end all risk; it accepts every risk which is necessary for its work. Love does not separate the good people from the bad, bestowing endless bliss on one and endless torment on the other. Love seeks the reconciliation of every life so that it may share with all the others." -Daniel Day Williams

The Noble Edge

 The Noble Edge

Upon the Noble Edge we meet
And never are apart
Upon the razor's edge we dance
To experience the heart.
The heart of understanding
The heart of letting go
The heart of being all we are in the ever changing flow.

FREE at last if I-dentity
We serve, love and allow
Living Holy Spirit
Sharing forever NOW.

So gaze at every rainbow
And wipe away the fear
Always dancing in I AM
Upon the Noble Edge
That mirrors.

There is no separation
I love the me I see
I AM the me I see
I love the all we be
I AM the all we be

I AM

There is no limitiation
I love the mirror I see
I am the mirror I see
I love the all we be

I AM

Holy Spirit
Conscious I AM
Always NOW
We transcend
The separation of duality
To shroud no more
Our unity

Same in you
Same in me
We are I AM

You are with me wherever I go
I am with you always
ONE breath
ONE life
One co-creator
Thy will is one
Thy will be done.  

Oneness

"If we're not planting seeds that are going to reveal that oneness to us, we're simply perpetuating our own pain, because all of our suffering comes from being lost in separateness." --Krishna Das

Seperation

"Pain and separation occur when we regret the past or worry about the future.  Here and now is ecstasy." Ram Dass

Oneness

"Those who control the ear of the heart understand that if people truly discover each other, we will have a million circles and sit down and laugh and cry at our commonalities.   And then we will not be so easily led to fight wars.   We will not so unconsciously exploit each others lives in order to make our own more comfortable.   We will not be confused by the manipulation of half-truths and lies."  Christina Baldwin

Seperation

"There is no them.  There's only us.  When we separate ourselves from those aspects of humanity we do not like, we do so primarily out of fear that those aspects live in us.  And in truth, they do."  Oriah

Ego

"Your ego promotes a rather smooth flowing river of misery with fear, keeps you in a belief system that declares you are separate and special, prevents your from making the changes that will bring you into contact with your spiritual self, hands you guilt (the inner fear that you should pay a price for any and all mistakes), keeps you skeptical of your divinity, whispers that love is a high ideal loaded with danger.   It wants you not to give too much love because you may be taken advantage of.   All of these ideas keep you in a state of fear about giving and receiving love, which is enough to keep you under its influence."  Wayne Dyer

Senses

"Attunement to the senses can limber up the stiff belief and gentle the hardened outlook.   It can warm and heal atrophied feelings that are the barriers exiling us from ourselves and separating us from each other."   John O' Donahue

Solitude

"Solitude is one of the most precious things in the human spirit.   It is different from loneliness.   When you are lonely, you become acutely conscious of your own separation.   Solitude can be a homecoming to your own deepest belonging.   We cannot continue to seek outside ourselves for the things that we need from within.   The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people.   They are at home in the heart of the soul."   John O' Donahue
