Quietly
Unexpectedly
You came into my life.
Love was real!
Love was not just a word,
A meaningless word!
Now it hurts,
I hurt,
There is no love.
Love is a meaningless word,
A meaningless word with a meaning:
Love is a lie.

It is now Forbidden

by Pablo Neruda

It is now forbidden
to cry without learning;
to wake up one day
and no longer have dreams;
to become afraid
of your own memories…

It is now forbidden
to not smile
in the face of adversity;
to stop fighting
for those who you love;
to abandon it all
because of your fears;
or to give up in making
your own dreams come true.

It is now forbidden
to pretend we don’t need
understanding each other;
to place less value
in the lives of others;
to ignore each of us
has a unique path to joy…
It is now forbidden
to give up on happiness,
to abandon optimism,
to quit improving ourselves;
to believe the world
will be a better place without you.

On The Way

Man of the Tao I am,
But am not a Taoist,
Man who walks the way
And never expects to complete.
For the way is my journey,
The way is all my life.
I love the way,
And with that, put my expectations out of sight.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great, too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can-
At all times, Dare to be!

You that love lovers,
this is your home. Welcome.

In the midst of making form,
love made this form that melts form,
...with love for the door
and soul for the vestibule.

Watch the dust grains
moving in the light near the window.

Their dance is our dance.

We rarely hear the inward music,
but we are all dancing to it nevertheless,
directed by the one who teaches us,
the pure joy of the sun,
our music master.

Rumi

All of you who feel victimized by this world, remember this. Nobody can steal your contentment away from you. You can give it away, you can abandon it, but nobody can take it away. The happiness of this heart - nobody can take that away from you. If you look to the outside for everything - including your peace, including your happiness, you will be disappointed because it cannot come from the outside.
Something inside gets very happy when you acknowledge the present. 'Today i will be conscious. Today i will feel my presence: not somebody else's presence. My presence.' Prem Rawat July 2010
