It Felt Love
How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened.
The Suburbs
Complaint
Is only possible
While living in the suburbs
Of God.
Hafiz, The Gift, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
Living in the Now
There is nothing you can ever do or attain that will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment. This may be hard to grasp for a mind accustomed to thinking that everything worthwhile is in the future. Nor can anything that you ever did or that was done to you in the past prevent you from saying yes to what is
and taking your attention deeply into the Now. You cannot do this in the future. You do it now or not at all.
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
