...fully present...

We do not become fearless because we know that nothing bad will happen to us ... True fearlessness comes from the knowledge that we will never lie to ourselves, that we will never evade a single moment of our lives.  We will be fully present for every moment and every consequence.

~ Shyalpa Rinpoche

... Something ...

 

Something,

We know not what,

Is always and everywhere

Lovingly at work,

We know not how,

To make the world more than it is now

To make us more than we are yet.

That Something is at once:

Divinity, life force of the universe, and our own aliveness:

One Sacred Heart

Never apart.

~David Richo

... joy expanding ...

The eternal light,

bound by love into one volume:

all that is scattered in leaves

throughout the universe,

fused as a simple light:

I saw this and in telling it

I feel my joy expand.

~Dante:  Paradiso

Reality is a spiritual experience;

Nature is practicing Buddhism.

~Dogen Zenji

The world?

Moonlight drops

shaken

from the crane's bill.

~Dogen Zenji
