A medium in between

Energy attracts more energy. Become a vessel-empty, filled, overflowing. When you feel now it is too much, unbearable, bow down to earth. Kiss the earth and remain silent there, as if you are pouring the energy into the earth. Take from the sky; give back to the earth. You become just a medium in between.


(''From Chaos to Cosmos'' by Osho, Diamond Pocket books, 2000)

Living the life

Shall I fall on bended knees and wait for someone to bless me with happiness and a life of golden dreams?   No.
I shall run into the desert of life with my arms open, sometimes falling, sometimes stumbling, but always picking myself up, a thousand times if necessary.
Often life will burn me; often life will caress me tenderly. Many of my days shall be haunted by complications and obstacles, and there will be moments so beautiful that my soul shall weep in ecstasy. I shall be a witness, but never shall I run or turn from life.



(From 'Sannyasa Darshan' by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, YOGA PUBLICATIONS TRUST, India 1991)

explore

         Eyes.   & we
remember:yes;we playedwith a piece of when

till it rolled behind forever,we touched a shy
animal called where and she disappeared.

Umile ed alta più che creatura


Vergine Madre, figlia del tuo Figlio,
umile ed alta più che creatura,
termine fisso d' eterno consiglio,


tu se' colei che l'umana natura
nobilitasti si, che il suo Fattore
non disdegnò di farsi sua fattura.


Nel ventre tuo si raccese l'amore,
per lo cui cui caldo nell'eterna pace
Cosi è germinato questo fiore.


Qui sei a noi meridiana face
di caritate, e giuso intra i mortali,
sei di speranza fontana vivace.


Donna, sei tanto grande e tanto vali,
che qual vuol grazia ed a te non ricorre,
Sua disïanza vuol volar senz'ali.


La tua benignità non pur soccore
a chi domanda, ma molte fiate
liberamente al domandar precorre.


In te misericordia, in te pietate,
in te magnificenza, in te s'aduna
quantuque in creatura è di bontate.



(Dante, Paradiso, XXXIII)
