"Every spirit builds itself a house ...."

Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.

--> Ralph W Emerson

"Heaven on Earth ...."

Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.

Wayne Dyer

Bird brain?

Bird brain?  But it's a beautiful life!

"He who works ...."

He who works with his hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.

--> Francis of Assisi

"What you are, what I am ...."

“What you are, what I am, what the animals are, is something intangible, indestructible, formless – a collection of ancestral memories mixed with traces of the past cosmos.  We are spirits, and each individual spirit has existed from the very beginning and will continue hurtling through space, changing and evolving into infinity.”

Extract of The Wandering Taoist, Deng Ming-Dao

Bird tale

Bird tale:

It need not be pretty

As is,

I am.

"May you experience each day ...."

May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.

--> John O’Donohue
