~Peace~
When you surrender to what is
and so become fully present,
the past ceases to have any power.
The realm of being, which had been obscured
by the mind, then opens up.
Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you,
An unfathomable sense of peace.
And within that peace, there is great joy.
And within that joy, there is love.
And at the innermost core, there is the sacred,
The immeasurable. That which cannot be named.
--Eckhart Tolle, Practicing the Power of Now
"The Supreme Reality of your Own Being
is inwardly experienced
as unbroken consciousness,
the unchanging sense that "I am I."
It is the unchanging Reality within."
-Shri Shankaracharya, Vivekachudamani
Breathe and You Know
Breathe and you know…that you are alive.
Breathe and you know…..that all is helping you.
Breathe and you know....…..that you are the world.
Breathe and you know…that the flower is breathing too.
Breathe for yourself........…and you breathe for the world.
Breathe in compassion.........................…and breathe out joy.
Breathe and be one.................…with the air that you breathe.
Breathe and be one….................with the earth that you tread.
Breathe and be one .........................…with the fire that glows.
Breathe and you breathe…....the thought of birth and death.
Breathe and you see…......................impermanence is life.
Breathe for your joy............and to be steady and calm.
Breathe for your sorrow…...................to flow away.
Breathe to renew…........every cell in your blood.
Breathe to renew…the depth of consciousness.
Breathe and you dwell…in the here and now.
Breathe and all you touch…is new and real.
--Thich Nhat Hanh
