Girls want to look like women,
Women want to look like girls.
And the old ladies just want to go for a walk.

Many paths lead from
The foot of the mountain
But at the peak
We all gaze at the
Single bright moonIkkyu

"There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness
out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing."~ Rashani

"i know love does to pain
what sunlight does to rain,
in the absence of doership
we’re reminded once againthat inherent in each cloud
is a rainbow not-yet-born,
the awakened state is present
even as we mourn.so let the tears keep flowing
and trust whatever comes,
each moment is a banquet
of abundance, not of crumbs."~ Rashani
(painting by Christy Freeman)
"PEACE
NOT WAR
GENEROSITY
NOT GREED
EMPATHY
NOT HATE
CREATIVITY
NOT DESTRUCTION
EVERYBODY
NOT JUST US"
