Rest in His love, and protect your love by loving. – ACIM

love only

Only love and loving matter. It’s our sure connection to God. The only way to be safe in this world. It’s the antidote to fear. A guarantor of great relationships. It’s the only guide we need. Let’s stay as conduits to God’s love by being love itself…

Anywhere is the center of the world. – Black Elk

centering

To find our way, to know ourselves, to live with purpose and to be genuinely fulfilled we must be centered on ourselves. Not in a selfish, egoistic way, no. But in a fully-present, mindful and being-fullness way. And then we’ll find that we’re indeed the center of the world and that we have nowhere to go and nothing really left to do. All destinations come to us and whatever needs to be done, somehow gets done. Life flows. Life is good and all is well.

Learn to be quiet enough to hear the sound of the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in the others. – Marian Wright Edelman

true listening

True listening happens when we operate from our deep, genuine center, from what we actually are. We can come in touch with that center through quietude. And thanks to this kind of listening and direct contact with the ‘other’ nothing but true relationships are built.

The primary wisdom is intuition. In that deep force, the last fact behind which analysis cannot go, all things find their origin. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’m glad the damned horse fell on me. It made me lie still in one place… – Andre Dubus

shit happens

When shit happens, it’s Life offering us a gift. It’s our opportunity to become still and know what’s true. To know what the gift is and what we might do with it. It’s an invitation to come back Home.

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them. – Alfred Hitchcock

afraid

Whether we admit it or not we’re afraid. We’re afraid of many things including death, or extinguishment. Alfred Hitchcock was indeed a master, he knew how to process his fears. And thus he points to how we can do the same. We must face our fears, we must allow them to come up and allow them to take us over. We just let it happen without resistance. When we do that we realize that all fear is really a damp squib, it’s non-existent. And unless we face our fears they’ll always lie waiting to pounce, attack us again and again…
