Comment by Eva Libre on March 18, 2012 at 8:11pm: THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

— Wendell Berry

We are One, so the way we treat oters and ourselves is the same ...

Compassion, Love and Peace for all Beings.

Comment by Eva Libre on January 29, 2012 at 11:06pm: Without communication, no real understanding can be possible. But be sure that you can communicate with yourself first. If you cannot communicate with yourself, how do you expect to communicate with another person? Love is the same. If you don't love yourself, you cannot love someone else. If you cannot accept yourself, if you cannot treat yourself with kindness, you cannot do this for another person.

Comment by Eva Libre on January 26, 2012 at 9:34pm: I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being for I am alone with the King and have lost myself in him. At dawn your flame seized my heart but left behind my body. I will shout and raise havoc until you come back for me tonight. My Beloved, do not let anger estrange my heart be generous, invite me to your feast. Let no one be deprived of the joy of your company.
