A time for reflection......

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.

I want to know what you ache for

and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are.

I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love

for your dream for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...

I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow

if you have been opened by life’s betrayals

or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own

without moving to hide itor fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own

if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy

fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes

without cautioning usto be careful to be realistic

to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself.

If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day.

And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine

and still stand at the edge of the lake

and shout to the silver of the full moon,“Yes.”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair

weary and bruised to the bone

and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire

with meand not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.

I want to know what sustains you

from the insidewhen all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself

and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Trust the process

Step into the Sunlight

Feel the pain wash away

Enter in the Soul-light

Just BE in today.

Forget all emotion

Put your trust in the day

Let the past rush on by you

Put your Self in THE WAY.

Be compassionate to yourself

Through your blessing, grace, and guidance,

through the power of the light that streams from you:

May all my negative karma, destructive emotions,

obscurations and blockages be purified and removed,

May I know myself forgiven for all the harm

I may have thought and done,

May I accomplish this profound practice of phowa,

and die a good and peaceful death,

And through the triumph of my death,

may I be able to benefit all other beings, living or dead.

tibetan buddhist phowa practice -

Before we can offer compassion to others we must first

be able to offer compassion to ourselves.

Go with the flow

My life will shine

As the morning sings

I walk in liberty

Bound in true dreams

Manifested promises

Chase my forward motion

A covered path before me

The fruits of my hoping

The fruits of my living

Today let life take you to your place of truth.

Change is inevitable

God, give us grace to accept with serenity

the things that cannot be changed,

courage to change the things

which should be changed,

and the wisdom to distinguishthe

one from the other.

Let love be the answer

Blessed are they who love and trust their fellow beings,

for they shall reach the good in people and

receive a loving response.

Today, everyone at onlinedivine send their divine prayers for peace and love in our world.

Enjoy the full moon!

I am the wind on the sea.

I am the wave of the sea.

I am the bull of seven battles.

I am the eagle on the rock.

I am a flash from the sun.

I am the most beautiful of plants.

I am a strong wild boar.

I am a salmon in the water.

I am a lake in the plain.

I am the word of knowledge.

I am the head of the spear in battle.

I am the God that puts fire in the head.

Who spreads light in the gathering on the hills?

Who can tell the ages of the moon?

Who can tell the place where the sun rests?
