Hear Me Roar

Kitty Photo of The day


Zen Quote of the Day
What good does it do to
brood on the past
or to anticipate the future...?


Real-life inspiration for "hear-me-roar"

 Take a moment to settle yourself
before the rush of the day begins.
Feel the calm and use it as an anchor,
a reminder there is silence under the chaos

Flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
A cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
This is the best season of your life.

colour and texture of
a rainy day.

I feel like the ground, astonished

Rain

Kitty Photo of the Day


...

Verse of the Day

How I love the rain
Used to be
because it feels like
redemption
for things we did
and didn't do.




The comfort of rain
because it's cold outside
but warm within.
 It's bitter-sweet,
 a secret tear
and a hidden smile



I still love the rain
but only as change
from a sunny day...

;)

Way.

The human-divine combination

Kitty Photo of the Day

Halo doing a MJ tribute

Verse of the Day
The disc of the sun does exist, but if you see
only the ray-bodies, you may have doubts.
The human-divine combination are a oneness.
Plurality, the apparent separation  into rays...

Friend, we're traveling together. Throw off
your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot

of the beauty that can't be spoken. I'm like
an ant that's gotten into the granary,
ludicrously happy,and trying to lug out
a grain that's way too big.


~ Rumi

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog

The human spirit is not dead.  It lives on in secret.... It has come to believe that compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.  ~Albert Schweitzer, Novel Peace Prize address, "The Problem of Peace in the World Today"

Seize the novelty and uniqueness of every moment



Be just plain happy.
Be happy in the being

and what you do for others,
you are doing for yourself.

Trust the connection
you have with the world.
Carry it in your heart.
