Passion

24/3/2013

Passion.

What does it mean to be ...
passionate?
compassionate?
impassioned?
passionful?

Are we passionaries ...
committed to LOVE?
committed to service?
committed to revelation?
committed to relationship?

LOVE inhabits passion.
May your passion be a blessing to all.

Litter

23/3/2013

Litter ... a curse and a blessing.
Nature's excess provides a much-needed mulch on the forest floor.
Man's excess destroys our environment.

What are the excesses that litter my life?
What are the excesses with which I litter our environment?
What are the excesses that nourish and fertilise my relationship with others, with God, with myself?

May our excesses bless those we encounter.
May we bless this world with LOVE, not litter.

Together

22/3/2013

Together we are one.
Even if I feel you are distant,
together we are one.
Even if you fail me,
together we are one.

Our togetherness is a blessing.
Our togetherness is graced.

Cycle

21/3/2013

Our lives are cyclical.
Our world is cyclical.
The seasons are cyclical.

The cycles of our lives
rejuvenate us;
rest us;
restore us;
re-focus us;
bless us.

May we receive with open minds and open hearts
the blessings we are offered.

Regrowth

19/3/2013

After the drought, rain comes.
Regrowth.
After time in the desert, an oasis.
Regrowth.
After separation, unity.
Regrowth.

May grace infuse our regrowth.
May it bring blessings to all.

Arrived

18/3/2013

Thich Nhat Hanh uses calligraphy as a meditation.
During one meditation he wrote,

"I have arrived. I am here."

Every day, every moment,
we have arrived,
we are here.

May we attend to our lives ...here, now.
May grace inhabit every moment.
May every arrival be blessed.

ARRIVED

Wellspring

17/3/2013

Thich Nhat Hanh wrote,
"The tears I shed yesterday have become rain."

These tears are the wellspring of hope.
They water the person I am becoming.
They nurture the seeds of relationship.
Each tear reflects LOVE.

May your tears be tomorrow's blessings.

Wait here

16/3/2013

Wait here.
Not in some distant place of desire or longing.
Wait here.
Not in the wistfulness of your dreaming.
Wait here.
I will wait with you.

May we be blessed as we wait mindfully, attentively, in the present moment.

WAIT HERE

Wait

15/3/2013

Wait.
I am not ready.
But will I ever be ready?

Rainer Maria Rilke writes,

"And you wait,
keep waiting for that one thing
which would infinitely enrich your life:
the powerful, uniquely uncommon,
the awakening of dormant stones,
depths that would reveal you to yourself."

May LOVE be in your waiting.
May your waiting bring blessings.
