Happy Monday!  Well, we just returned from a road trip/family reunion, and  I have hundreds of photos I need to sift through, but thought I’d share this Tahoe sunset to start with.

Have a great day!  Do or learn something NEW!

Love is Our Religion


Earth is my Body

 

 

Remember we must care for and nurture Our Planet as Ourselves

Our One

As One

One Love  One Heart  One Earth   One Mind  One Breath

One step at a Time

Consciously Caring for each other

For this special Ball we call Home

Every Tree  Every Flower

The Oceans  The Rocks   We have the power

The Rivers and Sky We hold our Hopes up High

The insects   Animals  Human Beings  Sun and Moon

Fellow Planets and stars so deep and so far

Kissing the Earth  Every step with our Soles

Each Touch   Each Glance

Communing

A Temple  A Treasure  A Privilege of Beauty  A Shrine   A Sacred Gift

Awakened hearts Open

Being  praying  Transforming

Change and Healing

For Every Creature in Our Creator in Our Creation

         Human Face Made From the Words, “Allah and Muhammad”

 

 

Give to the soil

What wants to rest in the earth

 

Give to the river

what wants to be dissolved in water

 

Give to the sun

What wants to be burned in fire

 

Give to the wind

what wants to be dispensed in air

 

Enough despair

Enough destruction

 

Make yourself empty

Purify your body and mind

and

get ready!

 

Ready to receive

God.

—Anieszka Ledwon

We each have a candle, but we are also the candle. We are One Heart and One Voice. This planet is the only One we have. We can thrive together or we can die together.

 

 

 

My Heart Has Become Capable of Every Form

 

“My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture

for gazelles and a retreat for Christian monks,

And a temple for idols, and the pilgrim’s Ka’ba,

and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Koran.

 

I follow the religion of Love, whichever way his camels take

My religion and my faith is the true religion.”   —Ibn-al-Arabi; translated from thirteenth-century Arabic by Anne and Christopher Fremantle

Only one Word was on my mind


Hunt 4 Truth's avatarthe Hunt for Truth

.

As I face myself in the mirror…
I’m looking for holiness within my human face… 
that will come along…

.

I was looking deeper than at my face. I was facing myself just as I’d been doing many dozens of times before, but this is what I need to share  — it was different this time. I was looking through myself and beyond the past of myself, even faster than the speed of light it was. I was really this time in acceptance that I’ve been doing the best that I can do. I know darn well that nothing that I can or did do or even will do makes me worthy of God’s Grace; no matter if I even by some chance may do one thing even perfectly. In fact, I wouldn’t have to work at it to tear up my mental image of myself doing the best that I can — recalling…
