As vast as this space without
is the tiny space within your heart:
heaven and earth are found in it,
fire and air, sun and moon,
lightning and the constellations,
whatever belongs to you here below
and all that doesn't,
all this is gathered in that tiny space
within your heart.

--Chandoghya Upanishad 8.1.2-3




When we create with our esthetic senses, with
inspiration, with passion and joy, we are artists.

A reminder:

Let Nothing Stand Between Me and the Perfection of
All That Is

(Looking beyond the world of form - given in a
dream)


A Hopi Elder Speaks:

You have been telling the people that this is the
Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the
people that this is the Hour.

And there are things to be considered!

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled and said,
This could be a good time! There is a river flowing
now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are
those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to
the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and
will suffer greatly.

Know the river has its destination. The elders say we
must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of
the river, keep our eyes open, and out heads above the
water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in our history, we are to take nothing
personally. Least of all ourselves. For the moment
that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to
a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word "struggle" from your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

My wish for you


I wish you not a path devoid of clouds, nor a life on a
bed of roses,

Not that you might never need regret,

nor that you should never feel pain.

No, that is not my wish for you. My wish for you is:



That you might be brave in times of trial, when
others lay crosses upon your shoulders.

When mountains must be climbed and chasms are to
be crossed,

When hope can scarce shine through.

That every gift God gave you might grow with you

and let you give your gift of joy to all who care for
you.



That you may always have a friend who is worth
that name,

whom you can trust and who helps you in times of
sadness,

Who will defy the storms of daily life at your side.



One more wish I have for you:

That in every hour of joy and pain you may feel God
close to you.

This is my wish for you and for all who care for you.

This is my hope for you now and forever.
