the language you use

reflects the quality

of your spirit

and is the measure

according to which others

evaluate you

New Beginnings

peace

is surrender that arises

through wisdom

sur•ren•der

(such negative connotations for the act.

have you been bamboozled?

it is better to walk alone

than with a crowd

why veer away

&

stumble?

think not you understand anything

until you pass the test of perfect peace,

for peace and understanding go together

and never can be found alone

can only be experienced

human spirit

is liberated from

hate, cruelty, and envy

what

are your idols?

it is not, ever, a who

it is the traveler only

who is foreign

the challenge lies within

(only within)

let’s face it—we’re insatiable

we have in each of us a famished craving

an aching void

a returning

hunger

and if we don’t know how to handle it

our insatiability will do a lot of damage

Love and War

p. 66

serene

utter calm

&

unruffled repose

we all are serene

deep inside

i liked thinking of our island as a woman whose body was a garden of flowers, whose feet were caressed by waves, a land whose sky was never cloudy

Esmeralda Santiago

(one of my favorite books)

the inner is foundation

of the outer,

the still

is master of the restless

Tao Te Ching

verse 26

we are more superficial

than we care

to

admit

(is not just me. is it?)
