Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.

~Thomas Merton

how do you listen when life is extra hard?

inquiry for today~ measure your day by the shades of light you notice…

feeling safe and calm

This body is not me.I am not limited by this body.

I am life without boundaries.

I have never been born,

and I have never died.

Look at the ocean and the sky filled with stars,

manifestations from my wondrous true mind.

Since before time, I have been free.

Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,

sacred thresholds on our journey.

Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.

So laugh with me,

hold my hand,

let us say good-bye,

say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today.

We will meet again tomorrow.

We will meet at the source every moment.

We meet each other in all forms of life.

~Thich Naht Hanh
