Tail

"The coming to consciousness is not a discovery of some new thing; it is a long and painful return to that which has always been."

 

Crowing glory

Lead me from the unreal to the Real.

Lead me from darkness unto the Light.

Lead me from death into Immortality.

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

 

Eyes

When your eyes are tired 

the world is tired also.

When your vision has gone 

no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark 

where the night has eyes

to recognize its own.

There you can be sure 

you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your womb 

tonight.

The night will give you 

a horizon further than you can see.

You must learn one thing.

The world was made to be free in.

Give up all the other worlds 

except the one to which you belong.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet 

confinement of your aloneness

to learn 

anything or anyone 

that does not bring you alive 

is too small for you.

 

Sense

Let your ears hear whatever they want to hear;
 let your eyes see whatever they want to see;
 let your mind think whatever it wants to think;
 let your lungs breathe in their own rhythm. 


Do not expect any special result,
 for in this wordless and idea-less state, 
where can there be past or future, 
and where any notion of purpose? 


Stop, look, and listen

Of the parent

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

 

Connection

Bless the spirit that makes connections,
for truly we live in what we imagine.
Clocks move along side our real life
with steps that are ever the same.

Though we do not know our exact location,
we are held in place by what links us.
Across trackless distances
antennas sense each other.

Pure attention, the essence of the powers!
Distracted by each day's doing,
how can we hear the signals?

Even as the farmer labors
there where the seed turns into summer,
it is not his work. It is Earth who gives.

 

Behaviour

Grant yourself a moment of peace,

and you will understand

how foolishly you have scurried about

Learn to be silent,

and you will notice that

you have talked too much.

Be kind,

and you will realise that

your judgement of others was too severe.

 

Freedom

"Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy."

 

Source

"Today you are You, that is truer than true.  There is no one alive that is Youer than you."

 

Difference

"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine."
