Life is a constant series of awakenings,
Beginning again,
Having a fresh go at it.
~

~
Every dawn brings with it a fresh opportunity
for happiness,
Every season another cycle of growth.
~

~
The old and finished falls away,
Duff, always feeding the soil of creativity.
~

~
The new bursts into becoming,
Being, finding its own way.
~
~
The roots may grow old,
But the leaf and blossom
Continually re-new themselves.
~

~
Cloaked in pristine promise,
After slumber, comes a new awakening.

“The universe is always delivering to us
what we need
for a spiritual awakening.”

“The world is exploding in emerald, sage,
and lusty chartreuse – neon green with so much yellow in it.
It is an explosive green that,
if one could watch it moment by moment throughout the day,
would grow in every dimension.”

“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression,
it must come completely undone.
The shell cracks, its insides come out
and everything changes.
To someone who doesn’t understand growth,
it would look like complete destruction.”

Meaning is only found
when you go beyond meaning.
Life only makes sense
when you perceive it as mystery
and it makes no sense
to the conceptualizing mind.”

“Waking up from a deep sleep,
I always seem to be discovering life

“A single event
can awaken within us
a stranger totally unknown to us.
To live is to be slowly born.”
