We are here essentially, to risk ourselves in the world. We are a form of invitation to others and to otherness,
we are meant to hazard ourselves for the right thing, for the right woman or the right man,
for a son or a daughter, for the right work or for a gift given against all the odds.
And in all this continual risking the most profound courage may be found in the greatest risk
and the greatest vulnerability, and perhaps, the greatest prize of all,
the simple willingness to allow ourselves to be happy along the way.
~David Whyte
when I care for my soul…..
inquiry for today~ how it all may be so….
In a true awakening, it is realized very clearly that even the awakening itself is not personal.
It is universal Spirit or universal consciousness that wakes up to itself. Rather than the “me” waking up,
what we are wakes up from the “me”. In awakening, what’s revealed to us is that we are not a thing,
nor a person, nor even an entity. What we are is that which manifests as all things, as all experiences,
as all personalities. We are that which dreams the whole world into existence.
Spiritual awakening reveals that that which is unspeakable, is actually what we are.
~Adyashanti
The Tao that can be spoken of is not the Tao … thanks for the reminder!
it always comes back to poetry g.f.s….
in poetry we recognize words are symbols given light in the mind
