The soul, like the moon,
is new, and always new again.
And I have seen the ocean
continuously creating.
Since I scoured my mind
and my body, I too
am new, each moment new.
My teacher told me one thing,
live in the soul.
When that was so,
I began to go naked,
and dance.
~Lalla, 14th century Kashmir,
Translation by Coleman Barks
Do not try to save the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life
and wait there patiently,
until the song that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know how to give yourself
to this world
so worthy of rescue.
~Martha Postlewaite
“Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence.
I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated.
The singularity of every man and woman is Jah’s gift.
What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah.
The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth.”
~Bob Marley
You are made of stardust and miracles! Open up and embrace the magic that is your true essence.
Learn to look beyond your physical body and feed the passions of your Soul. Pause, get still and reconnect with the flow of your Soul.
“Our spirits come to Earth from the Sky Nation,
traveling from the Spirit World like shooting stars.”
~Grandmother Wisdom Keeper in

Stop Doing and Start Being with yourself for a few moments each day. Take the time to reconnect with your True Self. Follow the dreams of your heart; pursue whatever makes your heart sing. Open up to the joyful knowing that who and what you are goes far beyond the limits of this reality.
