May 25 Happiness is only possible with True Love ----- Thich NHAT hANHThich Nhat Hanh is a vietnamese monk who is exiled in France. His quote can be found on the cover of a journal I bought that is now my crEative writing journal. According to his teaching Love is understanding and compassion. Love is not attachment and possession. I love my family for who they are and I have realized that on my last trip to Manila. I was able to see them in their glory and imperfection and yet there is no other familyl I would have wish to be born except my family.
True love is happiness and I know this in my core. I have loved Roge unconditionally and as a result it was a love that never conformed. We were happy in our own world and secure with out conforming to the norms dictated by society. I was happy to be his partner and I have learned so mush as a result.
Today I am contended again without definitions of where my love for K is at. I just know that spiritually I am nourished and that is important. The voice of reason and the positive in the world that can be chaotic for me. I have difficulty resting and this is a result of getting used to struggling. My struggles as a child, as an elder sister, as an immigrant, as a woman , as a voice wanting to come out. Now I have a realization that is why meditation is good for my being. It makes me centered and stay in the now where everything is ok.
I started today like a cleansing of Agnes. I cooked for myself, cleansed the house and my being. I am listening to the music that slows me. I am taking time off today from the pressures of applying for a job. It is just dawned on me that I need to step back and slow down otherwise my mind goes deep into the fears of the unknown. I am taking steps to take care of myself financially and I am reallly ok for today. I am enjoying the company of friends and I am really supported thru the calls and the hellos.
I am humbled by my experiences and I believe that God is preparing me for my higher purpose. It is God's time not mine. I release all expectations and I am in awe anticipating the doors that will open. I love my family, my friends, my life that is so full. I am truly blessed. I love K for the moments of joy he brings to my life. It is enough.
NAMASTE,
ging
August 25 Talking About Patience
Quote About Patience March 27 tao teh ching excerpts ----- LAO TZUWhat a muddled mind I have! All men are bright, bright: I alone am dim, dim. All men are sharp, sharp: I alone am mum, mum! Bland like the ocean. Aimless like the wafting gale. All men settle down in their grooves: I alone am stubborn and remain outside. But wherein I am most different from other is In knowing to take sustenance from my Mother! February 28 tao teh ching excerpts ----- LAO TZUFrom the notion that the movements of the Tao are a continuous interplay between opposites, the Taoists deduced two basic rules for human conduct. Whenever you want to achieve anything, they said, you should start with its opposite. Thus Lao Tzu: In order to contract a thing, one should surely expand it first. In order to weaken, one will surely strengthen first. In order to overthrow, one will surely exalt first. "In order to take, one will surely give first." This is called subtle wisdom. On the other hand, whenever you want to retain anything, you should admit in it something of its opposite: Be bent, and you will remain straight. Be vacant, and you will remain full. Be worn, and you will remain new. |
