Practising the Power of Now.

When you surrender to what is
And so become fully present,
The past ceases to have any power.
The realm of being then has the possibility of blossoming beautifully.

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

I love the use of the word unfathomable in this context.
Take care everybody.

No legacy so rich as honesty.

“Elephants love reunions. They recognize one another after years and years of separation and greet each other with wild, boisterous joy. There’s bellowing and trumpeting, ear flapping and rubbing. Trunks entwine.”
― Jennifer Richard Jacobson, Small as an Elephant

I love elephants. I like the fact that they don't eat other animals and are therefore not hunters. Such a huge amount of foliage they must consume to sustain such a large body.

The Circle Around the Zero ~ by Rumi

A lover doesn’t figure the odds.

He figures he came clean from God
as a gift without a reason,
so he gives without cause
or calculation or limit.

A conventionally religious person
behaves a certain way
to achieve salvation.

A lover gambles everything, the self,
the circle around the zero!
He or she cuts and throws it all away.

This is beyond any religion.

Lovers do not require from God any proof,
or any text, nor do they knock on a door
to make sure this is the right street.

They run,
and they run.

~ Rumi

It is what it is.
