Apply Within…

 

 

You once told me

 
You wanted to find

 
Yourself in the world –

 

 

JAN_0856-1

 

 

And I told you to

 
First apply within,

 
To discover the world

 
within you.

 

 

 

JAN_0861-1

 

You once told me

 
You wanted to save

 
The world from all its wars –

 

 

 

 

 

 

JAN_0860-1

 

And I told you to

 
First save yourself

 
From the world,

 
And all the wars

 

 
Through.

Older wisdom…

 

Since we are the youngest children of creation,
our accumulated wisdom is young, too, and so I 
search outside of the tiny and fragile box of 
humankind’s insight and understanding for the
older wisdom, the more ancient and enduring
healing.

               …I have documented the rich insights and mercies
brought to my life by my animal kin…I write about


the empowerment of meaningful and healing
relationships.
Many of mine are with animals and nature.

To heal…

 

Connect with nature..”silence the mind”

&the soul will know what to do 

to heal itself…

 

The soul always knows what to do 

to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

It has been said “time heals “all wounds.

I do not agree.The wounds remain.

them with scar tissue &  the pain lessens.

but it is never gone.

JAN_5382-1

 

some days the memories still

knock the wind out of 

me…

 

JAN_5454-1

 

Not all scars show

not all wounds heal

sometimes you can’t

always see the pain’

someone else feels…

 

JAN_5460-1

 

Your own healing is a powerful

contribution to the healing of

everyone…

 

JAN_5471-1

 

When you can tell your story &

it doesn’t make you cry, you

know you have healed…

They say time heals all wounds , but

Art…

 

Art is both love and friendship and

 understanding:

the desire to give.

 

_pop0731-bw

 

 

It is not charity, which is the giving

of things.

 

_pop0737-bw

 

It is more than kindness, which is

the giving of self.

 

 

jan_8600

 

 

It is both taking and giving of beauty, the turning

out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness

of the spirit.

 

 

 

jan_8771

 

 

 

It is the recreation on another plane of

 the realities of the world;

 

 

 

jan_8602

 

 

 

The tragic and wonderful realities of earth

and men…

 

 

 

_pop2651-bw

 

 

 

and all the interrelations

of these.

Speaking rocks…

 

 

 

The  R O C K S …..They are visible ..but invisible…

This  happens   .only when you put your whole energy   into it…

You start looking into the inside of things….then a rock is not ..just a rock

When  I saw this rock,  the first thing that stuck me was they  that they were friends…brothers ?…probably

                                                                                                                                     S O U L M A T E S …


May be it was one rock …which became three… over the years…

 

 

 

 

You can feel they are Breathing.…& that it is

                                          looking at you…

 

 

 

I touched it and I could feel it was

                                            Breathing…

 

 

 

I touched it  and could feel  its

                                                          warmth…

 

 

 

I touched it …could feel it was

                                                 responding…

 

 

 

 

There is a great deal …it does not

                                                              speak …

 

 

 

 

There is life here …ready to be

   released…

 

 

 

 

The words comes from the very heart of it…

It comes from its very

                                                 Being…

 

 

 

 

The moment you start listening to

  wordless….

 

 

 

 

You will hear what is being said  more importantly

                                                                           unsaid…

 

 

 

 

There  are no use of words….but

                                                   Gaps in between…

 

 

 

 

When you have become fully alert & there is no

                                                            Mind anymore….

 

 

 

 

‘ Hearing is possible for everybody ; listening is possible

only for those who are silent…”
