this sacred life

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.

~Blaise Pascal~

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

~Buddha~

“come to the edge.”

“we can’t. we’re afraid.”

“come to the edge.”

“we can’t. we’ll fall!.”

“come to the edge.”

and they came.

and he pushed them.

and they flew.

– Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918)

when we acknowledge that all life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment.  when we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world.

kill off all my demons, roy, and my angels might die too. — jessie, transsiberian

it is cold here.  i pull my wrap closer around me.   thoughtlessly staring out the window before me.  watching  leaves slipping  away from summer. and i wonder, what would i do today, if  somehow i knew it would be my last?  in a flash i have no ambition, no motivation at all, except to watch the leaves float upon a thing unseen, gently to the ground.  every leaf dancing a different dance.  some they tumble, some that spin, some that linger longer still.
