How To Live Zen…

Leave a comment

There is nothing to do

and nowhere to go.

Accepting this,

we can do everything

and go anywhere.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

conundrum

Life is a conundrum. Mark encapsulates it beautifully as he concludes his beautiful poem. Once we establish our flow with the Universe everything occurs naturally and without great effort. When we think we’re doing it all then life will be a struggle, we’ll never get it done. With full acceptance, life is complete now, but still goes on in a way only an artist can understand…

affirmations

Life continues to flow through me. And I allow it. I feel alive and only goodness, truth and beauty is the result. Love chooses me as I love everyone. I accept all that is and therefore am designedly empowered to be all that I can be. I AM complete and rejoice in the all-that-isness of the eternal now…

How To Live A Meaningful Life

Leave a comment

Like human fish,

we are asked to experience

meaning in the life that moves

through the gill of our heart.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

meaning

We are individuations of the great spirit. We’ve set out on this journey to experience life as only we can. We learn and grow as we capture meaning. The more deeply we live life the better we’ll pierce the mystery that it is. Life is to be lived fully and from the heart! Let’s do it!

affirmations

I AM God’s expression today. I know that all’s well. Life is great today and will provide everything I need on a continual basis. God’s perfection is running through my veins. God’s desires are being expressed through my being. I’m God’s child and I know it. Life is good, life is God.

Who Are We?

Leave a comment

…we are small living things
awakened in the stream…

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

who are we?

We are a part of the fabric of this Universe. We travel with God in our personal journeys making meaning and creating eternal treasures. We are to awaken to the grand design and participate fully in this transforming drama…

affirmations

I AM flowing in this river called Life. I know that goodness is my birthright and only good things happen to me. I allow divine intelligence a pathway through me. Love is my birthright and I make it available to all those I encounter. I experience life’s gifts no matter what I do, where I go and who I meet. Life continues to be perfect…

What’s Our Ideal Job?

Leave a comment

We cannot eliminate hunger,
but we can feed each other.
We cannot eliminate loneliness,
but we can hold each other.
We cannot eliminate pain,
but we can live a life
of compassion.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

compassion

Our job is to be here for the other. How will we feed each other today? How can we hold every person we meet? How much compassion will find its way out through us? How are we partnering with Life itself?

affirmations

I know I AM a part of Life and that it flows through me. As it flows through me I become a vehicle for good and for love. All those who meet me know that I genuinely care. My job is simple which is to allow Life’s goodness to find expression through me. In its journey through me, Life, refreshes me and I become more energetic. Its goodness guarantees me great health. All those who come in contact with me leave happy!

How To Dance With Eternity…

Leave a comment

Stripped of causes and plans
and things to strive for,
I have discovered everything
I could need or ask for
is right here—
in flawed abundance.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

right here

There’s a way of being which allows us to experience completeness. There are no ‘plans’ and there’s not much to do yet everything gets accomplished. One becomes a vehicle for Universal Intelligence to flow through us…

flawed

While it’s all here and easily accessible it’s not plainly visible. We can’t try too hard and we can’t be lost in our thoughts. A certain mindset can more easily engage in this eternal and momentary play. Children play this game much better than we do.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM dancing to the music of eternity!

Why People Matter…

Nothing compares to the sensation
of being alive in the company of
another. It is God breathing on
the embers of our soul.

– The Way Under The Way – Mark Nepo

mark nepo

Came across this incredible bit of poetry by Mark Nepo. I’d like to share bits of it in the coming days. Enjoy!

relationships

A conversation with another person is like talking to God. Relationships are the most important thing in this entire Universe. It’s why God created everything. He shared himself with himself in an endless profusion of meaning. Are we paying attention to this playful interlude that is life?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM valuing others…

Who’s In Charge?

Leave a comment

The older I get, the surer I am that I’m not running the show.  – Leonard Cohen

universal intelligence

There’s a greater intelligence, there’s a source from which all things, concepts, values, life and meaning proceed. At certain times of our lives or even during the course of a day, we can feel it, we can sense the underpinning of it all.

the trick

    The trick is to recognize that power, realize that it runs through us and everyone else. Consciously accept it and allow it a free run in our life. Application of faith will be necessary initially. Things start to happen when we do that. Let’s try it.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM allowing God to function through me!
