shatter time and burst into Now.

Love Has No Choice But To Win

And love will simply have no choice but to 

go into battle with space and time, 

and furthermore, to win.

In A Moment You Are The Music

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
~ T.S. Eliot

To Be At Service Is The Very Purpose Of Life

Service is the rent we pay for the
privilege of living on this earth.
It is the very purpose of life, and
not something you do in your spare time.

All Partakes Of The Perfection Of The Whole

Every particular in nature,
a leaf, a drop, a crystal,
a moment of time
is related to the whole, and
partakes of the perfection of the whole.
