"The true
nature of consciousness is clarity beyond images.
The
goal of the path of awakened beings is achieved without a path to
travel.
Supreme
awakening is realized without having anything to practise."
-Tilopa
"Why chase
after thoughts, which are superficial ripples of present
awareness? Rather look directly into the naked, empty nature of
thoughts;
then there is no duality, no observer, and nothing observed.
Simply rest in
this transparent, nondual present awareness. Make yourself at
home in the
natural state of pure presence, just being, not doing anything in
particular."
-Jamgon Kontrul Rinpoche

God Says Yes To Me
I asked God if it
was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes
"God Says
Yes To Me" by Kaylin Haught, from The Palm of Your Hand

planted seeds

"Enlightenment for a wave in the ocean is the moment the
wave realises that
it is water."
-Thich Nhat Hanh
by Daily Dharma
I have been thinking ...
I have been thinking of the difference between water
and the waves on it. Rising,
water's still water, falling back,
it is water, will you give me a hint
how to tell them apart?
Because someone
has made up the word
"wave," do I have to distinguish it
from water?
There is a Secret
One inside us;
the planets in all the galaxies
pass through his hands like beads.
That is a string
of beads one should look at with luminous eyes.
