spiritual-life

With the harmonious balance between materialist nature and spiritual attitude, it is possible to be affluent yet with the soul of a saint. Such a state is a synthesis of matter and soul; the Rich Monk is a way to be rich in two ways.

The nature of life is mess, chaotic, exquisitely beautiful, excruciatingly painful, immensely joy-filled, and unpredictable.

The greatest moments are right in front of you.

Be in love with the moments of your life.

Let__ not only take great photos, but let__ make great photos with our lives.

Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

If we continually let go of the moments, we let go of who we are and we lose ourselves.

Stories are one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Stories are equipment for life.

The greatest moments in life are the ones right in front of you.

Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

Unborn, never died, ever alive - thus is the Ultimate Reality. Of God. And of the Universal Self. As too, your own.

Listen,_ whispers Dario. __ow still it is._ They stand under a darkened archway, the only sound a whispered squeak where docked gondolas rub against each other. Negative ions from the lapping water release serotonin, and the brains of these two flood with the nourishment of each other__ breath, each other__ chi.

No matter the life-shattering circumstance that delivers the devastating blow to our spirit, God is bigger. He is faithful and unchanging, merciful and consistent with His offer to us, that through it all, we will be comforted, we will be loved, we will be HELD.

There is no need for us all to be alike and think the same way, neither do we need a common enemy to force us to come together and reach out to each other. If we allow ourselves and everyone else the freedom to fully individuate as spiritual beings in human form, there will be no need for us to be forced by worldly circumstances to take hands and stand together. Our souls will automatically want to flock together, like moths to the flame of our shared Divinity, yet each with wings covered in the glimmering colors and unique patterns of our individual human expression.

Don't live the same day over and over again and call that a life. Life is about evolving mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well try what you do want.

The spiritual life to me has always meant just one thing: emotion. Emotion is the poetry of life.
