clarity

Sometimes, without effort, you live in the moment. You don't regret the past or worry about the future, and in that moment everything flashes before your eyes , a clear snapshot of what has to be done, and everything pauses.

And I find a happiness in the fact of accepting __n the sublimely scientific and difficult fact of accepting the inevitable natural.

A kid thinking about fairy tales and believing in fairy talesActs like a sick god, but like a god.Because even though he affirms that what doesn__ exist exists,He knows things exist, that he exists,He knows existing exists and doesn__ explain itself,And he knows there__ no reason at all for anything to exist.He knows being is the point.All he doesn__ know is that thought isn__ the point.(10/1/1917)

Could it be that we lost something because had we not lost it, we would have lost ourselves?

the only source whence any thing like consolation or composure could be drawn, was in the resolution of her own better conduct, and the hope that, however inferior in spirit and gaiety might be the following and every future winter of her life to the past, it would yet find her more rational, more acquainted with herself, and leave her less to regret when it were gone.

Begin. . . where you are, NOT where you want to be. Begin stuck in the doldrums of your false story--if that is where you are. Begin there because, in truth, there is no other place to start from. Tell yourself that you are going to listen for the sound of your own voice--and remind yourself when you forget. And you will forget, over and over again.

Blessed are those with cracks in their broken heart because that is how the light gets in.

Cultivate clarity, strength, vitality and power from natural, beautiful and organic living foods.

Night doesn__ fall for my eyesBut my idea of the night is that it falls for my eyes.Beyond my thinking and having any thoughtsThe night falls concretelyAnd the shining of stars exists like it had weight.

In your serenity there is a clarity, strength and correctness that is beyond the petty scuffles of the moment _ a greater truth. It is the truth of who you are; beautiful, calm, secure, open, willing and safe.

Grounding is most effective when you have some place to go. When you know where you are going, grounding brings strength and confidence, when you__e stagnant you get caught in the past.

Your observations and conclusions are mirrored illusions of your inner state of being, teaching you truth through falsehoods, strength through weakness and clarity through confusion. You are seeing your Self now, disguised as the world through a lens of denial, but you will soon come to realize that what you choose to deny in yourself manifests into your world. The flaws you see in your world are your most powerful teachers.

The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in your life.

People often tell themselves lies, in order to reach what they consider acceptance in difficult situations. In reality, they fool themselves into believing they are healed, until that lie is corrected by time, further information or their own personal growth. True healing comes when we learn to not avoid truth, but face it. Only then will we be set free.

The Amorous Shepherd is a fruitless interlude, but those few poems are among the world__ greatest love poems, because they__e love poems about love, not about being poems. The poet loves because he loves, not because love exists.

The amorous shepherd has lost his staff,And his sheep are straying on the hillside,And he didn__ even play the flute he brought to play because he was thinking so much.No one came to him or went away. He never found his staff again.Others, cursing at him, gathered his sheep for him.No one had loved him, in the end.When he got up from the hillside and the false truth, he saw everything:The great valleys full of the same green as always,The great distant mountains, more real than any feeling,All reality, with the sky and the air and the fields that exist, is present.(And once again the air, that he__ missed for so long, entered coolly into his lungs)And he felt that the air was opening again, but with pain, a liberty in his chest.(7/10/1930)

Between what i see in a field and what I see in another fieldThere passes for a moment the figure of a man.His steps go with __im_ in the same reality,But I look at him and them, and they__e two things:The __an_ goes walking with his ideas, false and foreign,And his steps go with the ancient system that makes legs walk.I see him from a distance without any opinion at all.How perfect that he is in him what he is _ his body,His true reality which doesn__ have desires or hopes,But muscles and the sure and impersonal way of using them.

If science wants to be truthful,What science is more truthful than the science of things without science?I close my eyes and the hard earth where I__ lyingHas a reality so real even my back feels it.I don__ need reason _ I have shoulderblades.
