To Know Yourself

 

 

“To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.”

(Eckhart Tolle)

Today: I deny the tension in my body the rights to my soul.

It shall be exorcised, this tension, and I will rise triumphant.

It just make take some time and practice.

Bear with me.

Peace & Love

 

 

Words are not coming to me so I’ll just leave you with this photo.  The sunrise was beautiful and soft that morning and that’s the feeling I want to leave you with today.

Peace and Love, my friends.

We Are So Tiny

 

“”Natural boundaries are not evidenced when we view the earth from space.  Fanatical ethnic or religious or national identifications are a little difficult to support when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars.”

Carl Sagan

I worry about our country and our planet these days – especially these days – but am taking time to look at photos of planets in our solar system, reading about the cosmos and listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson, who for me boils down the immensity of Space and Time into something fathomable and understandable to my tiny brain.  Our species has been ruled by despots many times in many places and yet our species lives on.  Some folks better than others, but we live on.  Once our planet’s resources are used up by said despots our planet will pitch a tantrum and our time as a species will draw to a close and the insects will take over.  We are already knee deep into the 6th Extinction, I believe.  It’s an interesting time to be a human.
