love

quote from the Talmud…

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”
~ Talmud

…what an incredibly present reminder that we are simply instruments. opening our hearts, being present and aware, we simply do our part with ours lives as they are and have been given.

we are all friends here…

when i need a reminder
that all of this is sacred

i sit under the night sky
and
watch stars dance
i listen to birds sing
or
children’s laughter

i enjoy a cool breeze on a sunny day
and
get lost in the eyes
of
those whom i love.

we are all friends here
interdependent
floating along in the same river
which
opens into a deep blue sea
of
vast, spacious Love…

thoughts on fidelity…
by jaysen waller

…it seems to me, that if you are fortunate enough in this life to have even one person hand you their heart, allowing that vulnerability and choosing you and you in turn have accepted this gift, this offering, then hold it with the utmost care. with awareness, honor this heart laid bare. be of good character, acting with integrity and honesty. and when the relationship has found its conclusion, end it with tenderness and grace as you found it, before moving forward with another. such wounding can be so harmful and trust is incredibly difficult to regain…
…but then again, what do i know? i have yet to experience such a blessing in this life. perhaps the first heart that entwines with mine will find itself run over rather quickly. but if i do such a thing, please form a line and proceed to punch me in the stomach one by one, because i’m pretty sure this is what it feels like to be cheated on…

the only truth we have…

all is empty

waves come and gone

suns risen and set

worlds end
even
as new ones begin

all of what i know
is that i don’t
really
know

whether the stars
are here
or
gone tomorrow

even as if they
are
gone today

and may be

in some
tomorrow

all i really see
are distant memories
and futures
yet to manifest

but i am here
in this moment
in this
breath

so

breathe with me
my love

and

let our hearts beat
this once
together in rhythm

together
in the harmony
of right now

the only truth we have

broken are my gifts of love…

broken are my gifts of love…

broken
are my gifts
of
love

what
should be
grace

ends in clumsy
disgrace

my words
like wallflowers
need
a shove

and
still they
get lost

avoiding you
at great cost

yet, the letter
from my lips
is
simple, my love

you are the prayer
that echoes from my heart
for all the Universe
the hear
from below
to
above
