“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”
“The body must be nourished, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We’re spiritually starved in this culture-not underfed but undernourished.”
Praying
It doesn't have to be the blue iris,
it could be weeds in a vacant lot,
or a few small stones;
just pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate,
this isn't a contest
but the doorway into thanks,
and a silence
in which another voice may speak.
Mary Oliver, from Thirst
The rain is falling down Like all the souls you sent here Coming to this earth To find healing Mother earth takes in the rain Like your heart takes my voice Let us free eachother With our prayers, with our voice And I'm coming home And I'm coming home ......
“Stillness is opening up one’s heart to find that deep silence within, in that secure place untouched by raging storms.”
