Thanks for being here!
No matter how old a person is or how close they get to the door of exit, the calling keeps calling. A person can awaken at any point along the path of life." - Michael Meade - … The creative writer does the same as the child that play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously. ~ Sigmund Freud … Why do men insist on achieving something? Would it not be better if they stood still under the sun in com and silent immobility? What is there to accomplish? Why so much effort in ambition? Man has forgotten the meaning of silence. ~ Emil Cioran … One does not walk into the forest and accuse the trees of being off-center, nor do they visit the shore and call the waves imperfect. So why do we look at ourselves this way? ~ Tao Te Ching … I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they're not alone." ~ unknown. … The more you are motivated by LOVE ~ The Dalai Lama ... … I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me - the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art. ~Anaïs Nin Thank you for visiting. Take some time for your self.

Happy Friday, I hope! Today’s Sparkle Rock Glimmers! I found it quite liberating to consider at the start of this project, that I did not have to vocalize all these random quotes. Perhaps Sparkle Rock is for your eyes. There are other truths to speak. … On the spiritual path, there's nothing to get, and everything to get rid of. Ayya Khema, "What Love Is" … "Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again." - André Gide (1869 - 1951) … ALIGN Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress toward a successful and ultimately happy life. AUTHOR UNKNOWN …. Life has no meaning. No built-in meaning exists in Life. You are designed to give Life meaning. And the meaning you give it determines the effect you get. That is the meaning of Life. ~ Bashar … One of my long time favorites below …. "Don't depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections. You are exactly the same after death as you were before. Nothing changes; you only give up the body. If you are a thief or a liar or a cheater before death, you don't become an angel merely by dying. If such were possible, then let us all go and jump in the ocean now and become angels at once! Whatever you have made of yourself thus far, so will you be hereafter. And when you reincarnate, you will bring that same nature with you. To change, you have to make the effort. This world is the place to do it." ~ PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA … Think about this... If your mind is powerful enough to dream up imaginary events when you are asleep and then produce intense emotions in response to them, how much power does it have over your waking life? The same brain that convinces you that you're flying through space, doing battle with monsters, or discovering buried treasure while you're sleeping is also capable of telling you who you are and what you can do in the "real" world. And your brain creates whatever kinds of stories you train it to create. The problem is that most of us don't realize that we're in charge of this powerful dream machine. We let our minds create our reality, complete with its addiction to suffering, instead of learning to create it ourselves. -don jose ruiz, the shamans path to freedom Thank you for visiting.

The Ego says, "I shouldn't have to suffer!" and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It's a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it. Eckhart Tolle … Our lives are gradual paths of groundlessness. When we can accept that people and things are always shifting and changing, our hearts can open. ~ Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, "The Hunger for Home" …. True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self. -William Butler Yeats …. It's hard to listen without judgment, to tolerate ambiguity, paradox, and, in some cases, ignorance. But if we are ever to experience any measure of true peace, this is something we will all need to learn. Tina Lear, "Having Real Conversations (Even With My Sister)" …. We need to counteract the passive mind that just complacently absorbs things. This can be done by engaging with each opportunity as though it were the missing piece in a great puzzle. ~ Khentrul Rinpoche, "Unity in Difference" …. A creative life is a life where you routinely choose the path of curiosity over the path of fear. Not twice or three times, but daily. Systematically. It becomes your habit and practice to say, I don't even know why I'm interested in this, but I'm interested in it, and I'm going to look into it. ~Elizabeth Gilbert Thank you for visiting.
