the Light…

“Close your eyes. Feel it. The light…it’s always been there. It will guide you.”
~
Maz Kanata
stop. sit. breathe. let go. allow.
(rinse and repeat)
when renewed, get back up and do generous, kind, compassionate work to benefit a world that is suffering.

peace…

Is peace something you get,
or is peace something you are?
If you can get it, you can lose it.
If you are it, it is never gone.

If my mind doesn’t go out
to disturb the noise,
the noise won’t disturb me.

Be here now. Peace is now. Let go of control and breathe…

rooted in the earth
reaching toward the heavens
balance perfected

Whether we remain the ash
or become the phoenix
is up to us.

#interdependence

You can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.
