The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Henry Miller

There is a stillness about trees that I love, have always loved. I remember as a child spending hours wandering around a little wood near Uncle Tadhg's house, being nourished (unconsciously) by the Quiet.

         Love is always Loving you.

         Without this Love you cannot breathe,

         as without air you cannot live.

         Love is Meditation, Meditation is Love.

         Heart has no frontiers;

         Meditate on This.

         You are this Love, You are That.

         Simply be Quiet and stay as such.

          Papaji

Love is always Loving me ! Whenever I lose the sense that life(Love)
is loving me, I take out one of Katie's worksheets and question the
stressful thoughts that have robbed me of my joy. When I have worked
my way through my beliefs about the situation, the wisdom of life shines
through and I realize the opportunity for growth that life is giving me.
Similar stressful situations become interesting, my curiosity is
aroused , instead of shutting down or avoiding the situation,
sometimes I even begin to look forward it happening again.

         Love is always Loving you.

         Without this Love you cannot breathe,

         as without air you cannot live.

         Love is Meditation, Meditation is Love.

         Heart has no frontiers;

         Meditate on This.

         You are this Love, You are That.

         Simply be Quiet and stay as such.

          Cleaning Lentils

     A lentil, a lentil, a lentil, a stone.

     A green one, a black one, a green one , a stone,

     A lentil, a lentil, a lentil, a word.

     Suddenly a word, a lentil, a lentil,a word

     next to another word. A word, a word, a word,

     a speech. A word of nonsense.

     Suddenly a song. A song, a song, suddenly

     an old dream. A green,a green one, a black one

     a stone. A lentil,a lentil,a lentil,a stone.

     Zahrad
