the sacred life force calls to us,
asking us to remember…
We feel the longing to go home
to what we are…
It is the impulse of the life force
within us…

You will see this inner essence,

DeleteThe rainbow light photo is actually on a wall, but I turned the photo :)
“A mystic is content with nothing less than to touch the Truth [of who we are] in its most universal purity.” What I love about this quote is that it gives one permission to feel a bit of discontent. For a very good reason, of course ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Just returned from ushering in 2013 with kirtan!
Yes, the Truth of who we are, our Essence, the Beingness that we are, the pure Awareness, embraces it all, even the discontent that we feel... And in remembering the pure Essence that we are sometimes that discontent dissolves because we are seeing who is really experiencing all this, we experience the Truth that ultimately all is infinitely well... Am sure Kirtan gets one in touch with this Essence within. Although I've never tried Kirtan, I've done some chanting which was extremely powerful.
Deletethank you for these wonderful quotes with which to enter the new year. love that title from illness to stillness and read the link. sounds good. your photos are just gorgeous, so creative with interesting angles and perspectives. sending you warm wishes for a beautiful year.
