GIVE IT A TRY

“It’s impossible, said pride. It’s risky, said experience. It’s pointless, said reason. Give it a try, whispered the heart.” 

Anonymous

REFLECTION:

  • What is your heart whispering to you?
  • Can you stop to listen?
  • What is one action you can take to move closer to your hearts desire?

THE REFUGE WITHIN

There is a secret place. A radiant sanctuary. This magnificent refuge is inside you. Be brave and walk through the country of your own wild heart.  Be gentle and know that you know nothing.  Be still and listen, keep walking. No one else controls access to this perfect place. Give yourself your own unconditional permission to go there. Waste no time.  Enter the center of your soul.

Poem THE REFUGE WITHIN By St. Teresa of Avila as read by Tara Brach and her podcast:  Equanimity: The Gifts of Non-Reactive Mindful Presence

REFLECTION:

  • How often to you visit the sanctuary inside you?
  • Are you able to be still and listen to your heart?
  • What does your heart want you to know?
  • How can you act on that wisdom today?

UNARMED TRUTH… UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.  this is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.

Quote by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

REFLECTION:

  • As we struggle with the unprovoked attack on the people of the Ukraine, may these words offer comfort.
  • Is there anything you can do today to help? Offer prayers, send love and light, volunteer for an organization that is helping the people of Ukraine?
