Voices

In the midst of all the uncertainty, rest. 


Rest in faith that your love will be seen, received, understood and acknowledged. Rest, knowing that, that which is real cannot be threatened. And all that is unreal, will simply fall away. Why fear, oh little one? Why fear? When the arms of the Highest Good are forever around you, why fear?

Grace has been with you at every step. Look back. Take a deep breath, let your chaos dissolve. And look back at all the times you were carried out of storms and troubles. If your true essence is Love, let it flow, let it have its way. For it will always have its way. It has not been named the most powerful force in this world for no reason. All it asks is for is trust. Unwavering faith. And with this trust comes all the courage you need to do everything that will be required of you. 

Let all that is true stay, and all else fall away.

Lord, hear my prayer.

Amen.

Pain by Gibran

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief."


.. such beautiful words by Gibran.


If only we could let pain seep into us this way, it would never bring us down. It would never weigh in our hearts, but be our anchor that holds us in place. It would be a reminder of all the good in our lives.


If only..

The Beginning

How can this be the end,

For we have only begun.

The mind knows nothing,

Except story telling.

How can this be the end,

For we still have so many

More conversations and silences,

Yet to be exchanged.

How can this be the end,

For our travels and adventures

Wait for us, patiently,

As we prepare.

How can this be the end, 

For my Heart still overflows

With every word, you have uttered

To me.

This is just, a continuation

Of how we are, and what we have,

Our lives have intertwined into each other.

And our Souls breathe as One.

All else is poor translation!

I do not know which is more beautiful, the language of Love or the language of Silence. 

OR are they the same thing? Because Love understands Silence, and Silence reads into Love. I have read too many times, that Love needs no words to express itself, because it is so overwhelming a state that no word created by the human mind can ever define it.

Silence, however, existed before humans ever did. In fact, silence is all that has ever been and all that will ever be, long after we have gone. So is silence the original language? 

"Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation" - Rumi

Just like it is extremely easy to give into ego and 'do what you gotta do', it is also just as easy to speak all that your mind says without pausing to examine its necessity. Grudges, spite, anger, vengeance are all too easy to speak out. 

How easy is it to sit through the anger and watch it pass through you in silence?  

How often do you find yourself opinionated about everything?

Much more difficult to remain silent and watch it all unfold, just as it is, is it not?

No wonder, meditation and silence are so deeply linked. The quieter we are, both verbally and mentally, the more clarity we receive through our inner guidance, the more patient we get and it becomes so plain that everything is merely here and now. Your happiness is just as much here and now as is your sorrow. Both will go. 

Are you ready to welcome both with blissful silence?

Be Still (Title Inspired from Mark 4:35)

~ If you truly have faith in someone, if you believe in the love you both
share, you will find yourself no longer needing confirmation, or approval,
and you will no longer attempt to prove each other’s love. You will just
know it exists, you will know it is there, you will know it is within
reach, and you will know that it endures. You will simply know.

How does someone go against a truth they feel and know inside of themselves?
How does one question its existence or doubt its presence?


This time, I have no long drawn explanation about ego or love, or both.

Just a simple question - which need not necessarily be answered, just thought about.

If you feel a truth in all its purity and it reveals itself to you, sit in its presence and that will lend you all the direction you need, all the strength you require, all the reason you seek and all the peace you wish to have.

Be still, and sit in the presence of Your Truth.

The Whole

Hold on, hold on,

Let go, and hold on

You are the Source, yourself

And the River too.

For without one,

The other cannot exist.

Hush, in quiet, in Silence

Let the world turn, for you.

And watch as it does,

It brings people and events

For your Highest Good.

Be one, with your Heart

And listen to its beating.

With each breath, open yourself

To all that Is.

Like a sieve, let it pass through you

Whatever this is you encounter.

Let Pain nourish you,

And let Love wound you

In its Wholeness and Beauty.
