 Most of us think of love as a one-to-one relationship, which is the limitation of love on the physical level. But there is no limit to our capacity to love. We can never be satisfied by loving just one person here, another there. Our need is to love completely, universally, without any reservations – in other words, to become love itself.

 Abide in Patience
Praise and so on distract me and remove my disillusionment with the cycle of existence. They stir up jealousy toward gifted people, and anger at their success. . . . It is wrong to feel anger toward someone, thinking that person impedes my merit. As there is no austerity equal to patience, shall I not abide in that? – Shantideva, “The Way of the Bodhisattva “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 On the occasion of the autumnal equinox I want to share with you a favorite poem about the equal balance of day and night.
It’s entitled, ‘Day & Night’ and was written by the Norwegian poet, Rolf Jacobson: Endless our day — It is without end. It only goes away to another place, moves silently away for a little while, throws the blue coat around its shoulders, rinses it feet in the ocean and goes away then comes running back again with rosy cheeks and with cool, good hands lifts your chin and looks you in the face and says: “Are you awake yet?” Endless our night- it is without end. it only goes away to another place a little while, then it’s here again with its feverish eyes and hair dripping wet with sweat and says: “Why aren’t you sleeping?” There is no end to the joy, nor to the pain, Nor to death, nor to life. They only go away for a little while, they circle the earth , to another heart, a little while, then they’re back again with their halting voices: “Are you sleeping? Are you awake?” There is no end to the stars and the wind. – Translated from the Norwegian by Robert Bly Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
