india- metz

We are creatures whose being is sheltered and protected only insofar as we open ourselves up to the intangible, greater realities. We are at peace in the open, unconquered precincts of mystery. 

The unending nature of our poverty as human beings is our only innate treasure. 

We are unlimited indigence since our very self-possession, the integrity and lucidity of our coming-to-Being, spring not from ourselves but from the intangible mystery of God.

Here in india- this Is all in the dance of giving

There is a settling into this space

That always brings tears

When I am not in fun and sightseeing, when I have but a second of down time, I am in silence inside always thirsting god, prayer, chant, a look to the sunrise- life lived between these two states and I wonder if I will ever have anyone who can just sit next to me, in the middle.

I wonder if the tears are grace and that is a singluar place in communion with some force that is connecting to just everything that it can not be pinned or pointed so 'singularly"

Love makes my lip quiver as I cry into the sunrise!"

India

Is a sensory experience- endless movement

That you can loose yourself in

Swarms of motion and looking and gathering into 

It's no wonder temples were able to whisper meditation, I just wonder at the inward life  where -whose  words--deeper meanings find connection---

Devi prayer and coffee with my travel equal and coffee mate in a courtyard...

‎In my world I am silenced into a listening that I feel gimpses into, that span time....

I remember the paradox stories and think of St John of the cross' ladder, humility up and god down, or st Paul to the ethesions, he can be ebased or abound, or the dark forces that just create stories so heavy you can't climb or worse yet nothing can desend in.....

I am on the path of emptying to be filled

Thy will and no preference hand in hand

Keep me more in the moment every day

While weeks slip by

Heaven on earth could just be living this way-

Lord show me the way

I can not know

Thy will be done

That's the pray!!!

Amen!!!!

KAREN!!! .....yes- im all that

india

I wake early- 

Sunrise - I think to tut tut to the Singh temple for sunrise- 

Sahri blowing in the wind, wraps me 

Covers me, the thickness of india

Sweat

Spice

Smiles

Eye contact is abundant as is traditions.....

How there always seems to be a uniform lobby man, ready to slip into the elevator when, I, a blond American woman, or just woman, ends up in an elevator with a man.....

I forgot how accepting people are of the money you offer them, reminds you to put the scale off the table and just value eachother

And I do so.....

Grateful to be here with my children

And I am excited to release them to my children

Of the world....

Namaste-

prose

Faith is the willingness to open to what arises in experience. Belief is the disposition to make what arises in experience conform to certain ideas or positions. The one opens. The other closes.

Evening

Breathe


expansion comes in the morning
silence takes over the night
there is no story that is worth listening to
that isnt told in an embrace
there is no word worth holding on to
that isnt spoken softly , a whisper, a yearning
what can be said that can explain away a feeling
be loved
love
breathe

Hard to be someone's most important person

Ur in the spotlight

Your being loved‎

And your being loved with

All your flaws‎

And all your im perfections

And when ur someone's most important person

None of that really matters cause ur wearing the love glasses and u know what's

 there more....

‎

Cause your being seen as god within you

And spirit is a glow stick of natural adhesive

‎

Not like the duct tape of fake glory

Praising only the pain it would be to slowly lift off each hair on ur arm in a simple pull...

‎

Can anything be reborn without any pain feeling struggle or causing change?  

Be loved....‎ thats all...

‎

And from this place

From this place you can feel lifted up to

Do your best work in this world

And ‎that isn't connected to your actions

Being right or wrong

It is just connected to what is

Love

Be love

Give love

And we all rejoice-‎

An open heart‎

A calling to return to the womb

Unconditionally held‎

peace-

‎

Can I sit with suffering, both yours and mine, without trying to make it go away? (Pema)

This morning, I release story as mine today is as high and as wide and as painful and as sacred as the juice  you can pour into 

the goblet we share from your story

I lift it up and feel comforted in

 friendship

In creation

In being creators

To tell my story is just to ask how is your child , your loved ones, your struggles...

They can't find a vein
Beside the hospital bed
I sit
Th head stickin of the sheets
Looks too big for the body
And too small to be here

Surgery is upon us
Fear sparks the silence
And I am told to  be quiet
I am in prayer for all the children here

The sun rises -spirit

On a sleep walk come hither  on auto pilot

Seaside  stretch out  swaddled by the Sands of the earth,

 Held up body, heart and soul and lifted away close to the shore where lapping waves welcome  light for reflection

Sunrise- spirit

Connectiom -hope-meaning

  being. Love-

I am
