Looking at the cake is like looking at the future,
until you've tasted it what do you really know?
And then, of course, it's too late.
~ Merlin [Excalibur (1981)]

Love the quote, Miss H (I know you know all about touching God as a living reality, too) :smile:

Yeah, I've been feeling all talked out, like I was just repeating myself, so I've been living a very quiet life the last few months. I've still been lurking from time to time, seeing what people have to say, and I've felt compelled to comment more just recently - don't fully understand why, but I just went with the impulse.

Love that Sai Baba quote!

''...the inner and the outer worlds are indivisibly one...''

-Kabir


(Hi to Hayley..)

"Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself" - Aldous Huxley

I have decided to just rest within my roots/basics of all this for a while - easier that way.

"Great spiritual traditions are used as a means to ripen us,
to bring us face to face with our life, and to help us to see in a
new way by developing a stillness of mind and a strength of heart."

~ Jack Kornfield

"It's easy to be overwhelmed by the challenges that confront us. But what if the process of rewilding the Earth began with rewilding our souls? If we truly grasp the interconnectedness between all living things, doesn't it follow that every change within us will be reflected in the whole? If we reroot ourselves in the rhythms, wisdom, and patterns that created this planet and our own flesh and feelings, what might be possible for the Earth and all her inhabitants? What if helping the world really does start from within?" --Mary Reynolds Thompson, Reclaiming the Wild Soul: How Earth's Landscapes Restore Us to Wholeness

:love9:

I first saw God when I was a child, six years of age.
the cheeks of the sun were pale before Him,
and the earth acted as a shy
girl, like me.

-St. Catherine of Sienna, 14c
