Trust once more

Somebody here is hurting
Somebody here is broken
Somebody here is waiting
Somebody here is hoping
For love to come and unlock every door
It takes you and me to open up once more
And learn to trust again
Somebody here is searching
Somebody's dreams were stolen
Somebody's arms are reaching
Somebody needs to hold them
I don't know where you come from
I don't know where you're going
I only know the healing
Starts when we stop running
For love to come and unlock every door
It takes you and me to open up once more
And choose to trust again
That there is peace Like a river
Joy like a fountain
I'm drinking the cup of my father
Flying over this mountain

The splendor of recognition

“Where is this "we" and this "I"?
By the side of the Beloved.
You made this "we" and this "I"in order that you might playthis game of courtship with Yourself,that all "you's" and "I's" might become one souland finally drown in the Beloved.”
Rumi - Mathnawi I, 1779-1794 -

Savasana soundtrack #1 : Rings Of Saturn

Meditation: 

What are you born to be?What is it that you do and what is it that you are?
What do you need to
heal,
change
or transform
to manifest
your essential nature? 


~

Song: Nick Cave, Rings Of Saturn
“And this is the moment, this is exactly where she is born to be  
Now this is what she does and this is what she is"

Insight



What do you do with a new thought?

An insight that just came out of the blue?

Do nothing for a moment.

Just sit with it.

Take it in and say ‘Wow’.

Swallow this moment of insight

What happens from here?

Maybe it disappears and was just a thought

Maybe it becomes the new ground for an expedition

Your thought does not have a monetary value

But it can have a fundamental value for you

An existential value even

What do you want this thought to be?


Inspired by Esther Perel

Agency



What do you do with an old thought?

Or perhaps a familiar one that has been with you for as long as you can remember

Do nothing for a moment

Just sit with it

Just take it in and look at it with the eyes of a stranger

See if you can become curious of this new perspective

What happens from here?

Maybe you prefer your previous thought

Maybe the new one becomes the starting point for further exploration

The thought does not have a monetary value

But it can change the way you look

The way you feel even

What thought do you prefer?

Inspired by Esther Perel

Natural order


Natural order

What we do is secondary, primary is who we are.

Being and doing is like the colours and the outline of a drawing.

It might be the outline that creates a shape, but its the colours that catch the eye




Everything you need



Did you arrive on this day with a feeling of scarcity or lack? A feeling of slumbering discontent or doubt? No matter what it is.

Here and now, you remember you have a choice.

Will you focus today on the evidence of things that fall short or proof of sufficiency? Will you dwell on doubt or hold on to trust?

You don’t need as much as you think
You don’t need anyone’s approval
You don’t need validation to make it through the day
You don’t need your computer, your hot meal, your watch, your phone
You are enough

Whatever comes.

Just say: Everything I need today is gonna come my way
