may we...

... stay forever young



Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end…
What is the kingdom? It lies in our realization of the ubiquity of the divine presence in our neighbors, in our enemies, in all of us.

We're in a freefall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along.
And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is...
joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.
- Joseph Campbell, from Thou Art That and Sukhavati

enough

Sonlight and Summer, doing what they graciously did, grazing (being).


I WISH YOU ENOUGH



I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
