'Tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes!"
~William Wordsworth
~
like many cups, too!
“Hold your empty cup in your hands.
Notice the space within the cup.
Think of the space within yourself.
It is filled with the Divine Presence.
Draw near to this Loving Presence.
Sense this Loving Presence permeating your entire being.
Rest in silence and tranquility.
Listen to God say to you: “I am here.”
—Joyce Rupp,“The Cup of Our Life.”, Ave Maria Press
~
one flower
many hearts sitting
connected by the ribbon of love
the ribbon of life
open hearts
breathing the same air
coming together
for understanding
and insight

Why ! who makes much of miracle ?
As to me, I know of nothing
else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of
Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs
of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with the naked feet
along the beach, just in the edge of
the
water,
Or stand under the tress in the,
woods,
Or talk by day with any one I
love -- or sleep in the bed at
night with
any one I love,
Or sit at table at dinner with
my mother
To me, every hour of the light
and dark is a miracle,
Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,
To me the sea is continual
miracle;
The fishes that swim -- the
rocks -- the motion of the
waves -- the ships,
with men in them,
What stranger miracles are
there ?
-- Walt Whitman
"The life force that pulsates in the trees, plants and animals is the same life force that pulsates within us."--Sri Mata Amritanandamayi
“We do not change by trying to be what we are not, but by being fully what we are. This is the secret… Today flowers into tomorrow when it is fully today, not when it pretends to be already tomorrow in inpatient anticipation and undue haste. Thus change takes place precisely by not worrying about it, by not trying forcibly to bring it about, by not imposing it, by not seeking it. Let me be fully what I am today, and I shall wake up to a new world tomorrow… A caterpillar becomes a butterfly by being a good, honest, healthy, reliable caterpillar; that is, by being fully and genuinely what it is now, not by trying to be what it is not. The better the caterpillar, the better the butterfly. The stronger the present, the brighter the future. The way for me to learn to fly one day is to walk firmly with my feet on the ground today…Only be being fully what I am today can I get ready to be fully tomorrow what I can be tomorrow. My present stage fully lived is the best preparation for the next one. That is the wisdom of the caterpillar, and why it moves around contentedly at its leisurely pace. It trusts nature and it befriends time. It enjoys life crawling among leaves and branches, as one day it will enjoy life flying from flower to flower in the open sky. That is nature’s kingdom.”
—Father Carlos Valles a Spanish Jesuit born in 1925 who has worked in India for nearly 40 years, quoted in “Of Earth and Sky”, compiled by Thomas Becknell
“Just as a child lives fully in the present, when you love, let your whole being be present in that love, without any divisions or reservations. Don’t do anything partially, do it fully by being in the present moment. Don’t brood on the past, and don’t cling to it. Forget the past and stop dreaming about the future. Express yourself by being fully present, right now. Nothing, neither the regrets of the past nor the anxieties about the future, should interfere with the flow as you express your inner feelings. Let go of everything, and let your whole being flow through your mood. This is exactly what a child does.”
—Amma, Awaken Children, Vol. 8, copyright MA Center www.amma.org
The Miracle of Life is this Love that is present when this sense of separation, which is the mind searching for something, disappears. When the illusion is seen as illusion, it falls, and we witness That, which has never been absent: Love, that is this Mystery. Now, I speak about this Real Mystery, not the mystery imagined by the mind, but the Love that Life is.~M. Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O Milagre da Vida é esse Amor que está presente quando esse sentido de separação, que é a mente em busca de alguma coisa, desaparece.

“God’s touch, though taking place in a moment of time, lives on within us forever. When we experience God’s love, God’s self-giving, we are never the same. We may return to some of our old ways of being and acting, but deep down within we are not the same.
We can continue to let an experience of God bear fruit within us by going back to it and lingering over it. Through this remembering, lingering, and reliving process, we open ourselves to God—we allow God to move within us, to touch our hearts again so that our own experiences of God ripple deep within us and can continue to make a difference in our lives.”
—Maureen Conroy, The Discerning Heart
"How happy the light of this green day
All the while forgetting
The fear of what might be
The uncertainty of what is
The pain of what has been-
A great happiness

Thank God for so much goodness
In my life
Thank God"
—Shalom Freedman

“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”—Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “Life Together”
Buddha suggested there is a place, a home within yourself, a place where you can take refuge, a place where you can feel safe and happy. It is an inner kingdom, a refuge. You don’t have to travel far. It’s just a breath away. It is in the present moment.
“Jesus said, “If those who lead you say to you, ‘Look, the Kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will get there first. If they say, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will get there first. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the children of the living Father. “—Thich Nhat Hanh, “Living Buddha, Living Christ”
Simplicity can be a place, a space to be free as the Shaker hymn goes:
'”Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.”

the frame of the present moment
is free from worries,
a place where your heart is undivided
and free to live life fully in all its richness and glory
a place of stillness, as the mind
stops running into the past and future
a place of growing wisdom,
as mindfulness and breath awareness is practiced
a place of healing,
a final destination for your burdens of the past
it is your kingdom, queendom,
a place where the powers of
love, peace, beauty and understanding reign
a place where you can breathe with ease and be nourished
it is a gift for you every moment

"these two modes of invisibility - that which is hidden behind the things that we see, and that which is hidden inside the things we see - lend a pervasive sense of enigma, and unknowableness, to the everyday world of our direct experience. a sense that we are in continual, felt relationship with the unseen. it is a sensation that readily dissipates, however, when we abstractly ponder this earthly world as though we were not entirely a part of it, considering nature with the cool detachment of an engineer gazing at his blueprints on the wall, or that of a spectator watching a satellite image of the earth projected on the flat screen of her computer. however, as soon as we return to the immediacy of the present moment, and hence to our ongoing, animal experience in the midst of this sensorial world, then the flatness dissolves, and the enigmatic depth of the world becomes apparent."
~david abram, from "the invisibles," an essay in the spring 2006 issue of parabola magazine: "coming to our senses"

"The nature of This Flower is to bloom."—Alice Walker
These irises bloom only for a day. It seems that while it is happily in bloom, it thinks not of tomorrow. It experiences freedom in the present moment.
"A flower has a short life span, yet it offers itself wholeheartedly to others. It offers its own nectar to the bees -- and this brings happiness." -Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi)

"One day at a time" - this is enough.
Do not look back and grieve over the past,
for it is gone:
and do not be troubled about the future,
for it has not yet come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful
that it will be worth remembering.

Only Now is Real Mandala
Mandala for meditation/contemplation or decoration.
The words need little explanation – “Only Now is Real” yet if this is a new concept to you, it may be necessary to consider what that means beyond logic and intellect in order to appreciate the simplicity of the message. Time does not exist – we invented it in order to plan our daily lives and so we use clock time for practical purposes; yet it is always the present moment.
Here is a brief idea of what the illustration could mean.
As time does not exist, the two clock faces have no hands; the smaller clock face starts a winding path towards its destination which is of course Now (the present moment). The larger clock face stands for eternity and is potentially the everlasting sun. Larger dark circle suggests night as a contrast to the blue sky of day. Either side of the main waterfall are two air pockets; the loose theme being air, water (which is turning to wood), wood turning to fire and then fire to darkness. Flowers and leaves represent life and growth, grey mounds possibly earth. Trees reaching up represent continuing cycles of birth and death and birds stand for freedom. Clouds represent thought movement.
If you enjoy this Mandala there are four others for purchase either singularly or in a set from:

“And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet,
And learn to be at home.”
—Wendell Berry
(113) His disciples said to him,"When will the kingdom come?" (Jesus said,) "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is'. Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."
from the Gospel of Thomas
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on."
Robert Frost
"Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life."
Thich Nhat Hanh
"The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart."

iris bud reminds me of a candle
a light
a ~truth~
that the body will perish at some point
but few like to think about this
the awareness burns more brightly as one ages
as the iris of the eye opens
birth and death come as a pair
dying to certain things means birthing something new
fully living allows one to die well
the iris has to die to the bud
in order to bloom
the bloom has to die
to create seeds
so new life is possible
so it may continue in some way again
but the iris doesn’t seem to have any worries or fears
about each stage
it just seems to live happily
in whatever stage it happens to be
letting each stage unfold naturally
~
“This body is not me.
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.
I have never been born,
and I have never died.
Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,
manifestations from my wondrous true mind.
Since before time, I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.
Birth and death are a game of hide- and seek.
So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.
We meet today.
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms of life.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh, “Chanting and Recitations from Plum Village”
~
“Death is like the period mark at the end of a sentence. There is small gap, and then we begin writing again.”
—Amma
~
“Without knowing life, you cannot know death. For one who has not known life, who has not lived life in all its fullness, death is darkness; it is the end. But for one who has known life, death is the very heart of existence. Life flowers in death. That is why great masters, even though their bodies suffered, could die with big, blissful smiles on their faces. They embraced life with overflowing love. The embraced all of existence, all experiences both good and bad; therefore, they could embrace death also.”
—Amma, Awaken Children, Vol.6, p22
a quick brush pen sketch of my view during lunch at the Present Moment raw food restaurant located in St. Augustine, Fl... it's amazing!
I witnessed Thich Nhat Hanh drinking tea one time. I was touched by the way he was present to it. It was sacramental. It was if it were the most delicious tea in the world. In his words:
"Only in the awareness of the present, can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup.
Only in the present, can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy.
If you are ruminating about the past, or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea.
You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone.
Life is like that.
If you are not fully present, you will look around and it will be gone.
You will have missed the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life.
It will seem to be speeding past you. The past is finished.
Learn from it and let it go.
The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it.
Worrying is worthless.
When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment.
Then you will begin to experience joy in life.”
I tend to rush through things. I am making this resolve on the anniversary of his 88th continuation day: Whenever I drink tea, I will not rush into the future, but be present to the tea before me, to the cloud in the tea, the cloud in me. Savor. A New Year's resolution that is still there even if I forget. Just re-commit.

This is a collaborative group collage we did for Amma's Circle of Love Letters a couple of years ago around this time.
“'Embracing' is the key to the understanding of how to balance polarities. The waters of a brook do not accuse the rock of being in its path. The water does not say: 'Rock, I hate you, do not stand in my way or I wash you away.' The water says: 'Hi there, Rock, I grant you the right to be there, but I desire to create my energies elsewhere' -- and now the water giggles around the rock. We can learn from the water. It does not fear or hate the rock, it does not resist it either. In this sense the act of embracing should be understood.”
—Peter Erbe
“I lost into the hurry. Hurry was losing myself and not cleaning my sins/mistakes. Do not hurry, just do it in balance, harmony.”—Albulena Xhaferi

“When you die, your inbox will still be full.”

“There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”
—Carl Jung
Develop the mind of equilibrium.
You will always be getting praise and blame,
but do not let either affect the poise of the mind:
follow the calmness, the absence of pride."
--Sutta Nipata
Therefore, do recognize your Real Nature, relax in It - It is wiser than you, that this "you" that you believe to be. Thus, the invitation to the Truth, to the Realization, to Peace, to Freedom, to Love, to Happiness, is the invitation to accept who You really Are, giving up the belief of whom you believe to be. ~Master Gualberto ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Reconheça a sua Real Natureza, relaxe nela..." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Assim sendo, reconheça a sua Real Natureza, relaxe nela - Ela é mais sábia que você, que esse "você" que você acredita ser.

"OUR TRUE HERITAGE
The cosmos is filled with precious gems.
I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.
Each moment you are alive is a gem,
shining through and containing earth and sky,
water and clouds.
It needs you to breathe gently
for the miracles to be displayed.
Suddenly you hear the birds singing,
the pines chanting,
see the flowers blooming,
the blue sky,
the white clouds,
the smile and the marvelous look
of your beloved.
You, the richest person on Earth,
who have been going around begging for a living,
stop being the destitute child.
Come back and claim your heritage.
We should enjoy our happiness
and offer it to everyone.
Cherish this very moment.
Let go of the stream of distress
and embrace life fully in your arms."
