Your vision will become clear

 only when you look into your own heart. 

Who looks outside, dreams; 

Who look inside, awakes. 

- Carl Jung -

 

 Time and space are only in your mind. 

You are beyond time and space.

Your real nature is here and now.

Picasso 

 Wasting your time 

doubting whether you’re going to be successful

 is pointless.

- Kobe Bryant -

 

 Carry your self with dignity 

Not from some false sense 

Of pride or inflation 

But simply as your birthright 

All beings are worthy 

Throw off any shame 

And raise your head up 

You are a noble sovereign being 

And nobody can take that away.

What a joy it is 

that life has no point!

That means 

I can grant it one...

 Turn to grievances 

And become today’s prison.

 Reminder: crying is a HEALTHY emotion. 

Crying for hours or even a few days 

doesn’t mean you’re depressed. 

 We’re meant to cry when it hurts

 Behind every strong person

 lies a broken child 

who had to learn to stand up

 and take no shit.

 

 

 For most of us, 

life is a series of ordinary moments strung together. 

The more time we spend chasing the extraordinary,

 the more we miss what’s in front of us.

- Kimberly Hetherington -

 

For a long time, it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. 

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. 

Then life would begin. 

At last, it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

- Alfred D. Souza -

 To generate ideas: Walk 

 To increase energy: Sleep 

 To remove stress: Breath 

 To prevent overthinking: Write 

 To sharpen your focus: Meditate

 

This life 

Is a constant playing out 

Of seeming shadows 

A dance of duality 

In which we play our part 

Until our shadow has lifted 

And duality no longer rules us 

And is but a wave 

On our vast oceanic nature of union.

 Relationships do not cause 

pain and unhappiness. 

They bring out the pain and unhappiness 

that is already in you.

- Eckhart Tolle -

 

 People don't want their lives fixed. 

Nobody wants their problems solved. 

Their dramas. 

Their distractions.

 Their stories resolved. 

Their messed cleaned up. 

Because what would they have left? 

Just the big scary unknown.

 We are healed of a suffering

 Il faut arroser les souvenirs comme des fleurs en pot et, 

cet arrosage exige un contact régulier avec des témoins

du passé, c'est à dire avec des amis. 

Ils sont notre miroir ; notre mémoire ; 

on n'exige rien d'eux, 

si ce n'est qu'ils astiquent de temps en temps ce miroir

pour que l'on puisse s'y regarder.'

- Milan Kundera -

When you return to yourself 

You realize 

You never left yourself 

You were distracted 

And believed in things 

That weren't true.

You cannot solve it. 

You can live it, 

you can enjoy it, 

you can merge into it.

 Michelle Cowbourne - Glastonbury Tor

 You cannot make someone understand

 a message they are not ready to receive.

 

 It’s simple 

You believe almost every thought 

That goes flying through your head 

And it makes you scattered, noisy and tight 

 Or you just see them 

From awareness and equanimity 

Like clouds passing through an empty sky 

And it keeps you present, silent and peaceful.

 The guides, gurus, and mystics, 

Only show the way 

At some point all that must be left behind 

And we must go 

Naked and empty 

Into the desert of aloneness 

Into the forest of shadows 

And discover for ourselves 

What is true.

Someone said today that I have a real connection and love for what I do. That really helps me carry on with what I love. I won't ever be the best photographer but what I do is from my heart. The heart chakra of the world from me to you. Tonight at sunset here in Glastonbury. Love from me to you.

Walk down an Irish country lane. 

 Classiebawn Castle. Mullaghmore Peninsula, County Sligo,

 Ireland.

 

 Eventually it must all be surrendered 

Prepare for that inevitable time 

By walking the path of surrender now 

Don't see it as loss or gain

 All ideas of loss or gain 

Must also be surrendered.

Feel it, process it, let it go. 

Emotions are meant to be felt,

Breathe, life is okay.
