A beautiful Spring day...
Begin each day with meditation ... Become interiorly silent
Can you hear the past? Can you heart the future?
"Dig that sound" ... "Digging the present moment" ~ Alan Watts
Egoistic pride Eventually subsides
Feel what you Feel without taking sides ... let your breath Fall easily out and Flow easily in
Go back to your childhood and find that place of wonder
Hamlet Soliloquies still bringing a smile to my face as I listen to Alan Watts quote Shakespeare
Interminable chatter ceases and we become Interiorly silent
"Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun." Miguel Angel Ruiz

"Like shapes in the spray as the sea breaks on the rocks." ~ Alan Watts
"Meditation is the way in which we come to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe."

"Open the gates and seize the day... arise and seize the day" ~ NewsiesPranava is sanskrit for the om (aum) mantra: the sound manifestation of the highest consciousness or highest light called Brahman. The mantra exerts us to repeat it in order for our mind to be absorbed and merge into that brahman of the upanishads on three levels:
- Verbally: to let the sound resonate and work its magic on the conscious level
- In a whispering fashion: to affect the subconscious mind
- Mentally: to transform the super-conscious mind
Rote-ish ways : routine; a fixed, habitual, or mechanical course of procedure: the rote of daily living.
"There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures. " ~ William Shakespeare
Unification of spiritual and physical world
"Virtue has no intention of being Virtuous, it simply is" ~ Alan Watts
We need to wake up and fall in love with the earth."—Thich Nhat Hanh
