Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.  

- Thich Nhat Hanh

I am so small I can barely be seen.
How can this great love be inside me?
Look at your eyes, they are small but they
see enormous things.
Rumi ♥

Thanks +++ for this last post, Eva.

I'm happy to be a little but bright candle in the middle of so many.

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature. You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending Light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are transforming and continuing in a different form at any moment.  

 

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

"When we are not honest, we are cut off from a significant resource of ourselves, a vital dimension that is necessary for unity and wholeness."

…in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is estinguished or forgotten…

 

 

Entrance into wood, by Pablo Neruda

 

 

With scarce my reason, with my fingers,

with slow waters slow flooded,

I fall to the realm of forget-me-nots,

to a mourning air that clings,

to a forgotten room in ruins,

to a cluster of bitter love.

 

 

I fall into shadow, the midst

of things broken down,

I look at spiders, and graze on forests

of secret inconclusive wood,

I pass along damp uprooted fibers

to the live heart of matter and silence.

 

 

Smooth substance, oh drywinged rose,

in my sinking I climb your petals,

my feet weighed down with a red fatigue,

and I kneel in your hard cathedral

bruising my lips on an angel.

 

 

Here I am faced with your color of the world,

with your pale dead swords,

with your gathered hearts,

with your silent horde.

 

 

Here I am with your wave of dying fragrances

wrapped in autumn and resistance:

it is I embarking on a funeral journey

among your yellow scars:

it is I with my sourceless laments,

unnourished, wakeful, alone,

entering darkened corridors,

reaching your mysterious matter.

 

 

I see your dry currents moving,

broken-off hands I see growing,

I see your oceanic plants

creaking, shaken by night and fury,

and I feel leaves dying inwards,

amassing green materials

to your desolate stillness.

 

 

Pores, veins, circles of smoothness,

weight, silent temperature,

arrows cleaving to your fallen soul,

being asleep in your thick mouth,

dust of sweet pulp consumed,

ash full of snuffed-out souls,

come to me, to my measureless dream,

fall into my room where night falls

and incessantly falls like broken water,

and clasp me to your life, to your death,

to your crushed matter,

to your dead neutral doves,

and let us make fire, and silence, and sound,

and let us burn, and be silent, and bells.

Thich Nhat Hanh is a great master !

thanks for his quote, Eva.

Compassion, Love and Peace for all Beings

This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never ... lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.”

 

~  Thich Nhat Hanh
