Zen quote of the Day
Alas! the world is full of enormous lights and mysteries,
and man shuts them from himself with one small hand!....
~Baal Shem Tov.

It's the facts that lie,
never the stories...
...they become true when
we're interested in the pursuit of truth

Zen Quote of the day
Sense the surrounding space that connects you to everything.


Verse of the Day
You could be moving in a circuit without wing,
nourished without eating, sovereign without a throne.
No longer subject to fortune, you could be luck itself,

if you would rise from sleep, leave
the market arguing, and learn that
your own essence is your wealth.

No better love

Verse of the Day
No better love than love with no object,
no more satisfying work than work with no purpose,
If you could give up tricks and cleverness,
that would be the cleverest trick!
~adapted from Rumi

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in 
are different from the things we do.
~ Freya Stark quotes (French adventurer and explorer 1893-1993)

Recognize your inclinations,
but resist the pull to be controlled by them.

Verse of the day
Walk to the well.
Turn as the earth and the moon turn,
circling what they love.
Whatever circles comes from the center.

love-wings

Verse of the day
Test your love-wings and make them strong
Forget the idea of religious or physical ladders
Love is the roof, the vital core of the soul,
And of all you see, only love is infinite
~adapted from Rumi


Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.

Truth of being

Pic of the Day

 

Verse of the Day
...
Not until faithfulness
turns to betrayal and betrayal into trust
can any human being become
part of the truth.

 
...
Yesterday the beauty of early dawn
came over me, and I wondered who
my heart would reach toward.
Then this morning again and you.
Who am I?

;)

Zen Quote of the Day
Watch your mind
- Positive or Negative -
Pause. Be quiet.
See if it's going in 
the right direction.
  


Verse of the Day
Reason has no way to say
its love. Only love opens
that secret.

If you want
to be more alive, love
is the truest health

Come fly away with me...

Love Cats by AnaCB

Verse of the Day
You dance inside my chest
where no one sees you,

but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

Drumsound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says,
"I know you're tired,
but come, this is the way."
~ Rumi

CatmaSutra painting of the Day

Birdsong, wind,
the water's face.

Each Flower, remembering the smell:
I know you're close by.
~Rumi


Come fly away with me...

Verse of the Day
Copper doesn't know it's copper,
until it's changing to gold.

Your loving doesn't know majesty,
until it knows its helplessness.

 God only knows, I don't
what keeps me laughing.

The stem of a flower
moves when the air  moves.
