Thoughts
From the Heart, Part III
A
Collection of Random Musings and Inspirations,

There
is a way of being who you are that matters most. It is the way of being that
sings of wonder, and a deep
sense of radiant gratitude.
As you
walk through the dark woods, open your hand. Feel
the good spirit slip her hand into yours, and watch the darkness open into
light.
Inside
your heart a seed. Inside the seed your heart. From
inside this shared space, alive and breathing, all things grow into
the world.
Spirit
wears the life of matter as we would wear a silken robe –with delight, dignity, and with lavish playfulness.
Within
matter (mater=mother=earth) spirit lives, flowing and filling every cell with sheer and
utter joy.
Struggle
isn’t bad, it only feels bad sometimes–it’s actually a blessing. Ask
the bird, ask the butterfly, ask the baby learning to walk.
We are
here to unlock the treasures of one another’s hearts. Keys
like kindness, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and praise work well.
“What
of the feeling of impending doom?” asked the old man. “Notice
your feet,” said the child, “and then look at your hands. Be here
now.”
“Where have you
been?” the old man asked the child. “Sleeping,”
replied the child, “in your heart. Didn’t you look for me there?”
