Our personal dreams can never be dreamed by anyone else. It is part of what makes us unique and who we are.

A wasted life
Thomas Merton had a way of seeing and saying things that make sense even 50 after he passed away. Osho says the same thing essentially. We cannot take it with us so it is important to do well with it on Earth and share in ways that make the world a better place.
“If you have learned only how to be a success, your life has probably been wasted.” ~ Thomas Merton

What is most interesting about each of the quotes, is their sources transcend what we might understand as differences. For example, epoch is not a barrier to the shared meaning of the quotes individually and in their totality. In this way, the words shared are part of a universal understanding of what it is to be human, live and to love as humans.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. –Jimi Hendrix

Trust a Little Bit
This gallery contains 4 photos.
This is a great message or messages. One thing that gets us through the day is the faith that others have in us that we will achieve and that becomes our faith in our self. Faith, whether it be one’s own faith, the faith others have in them, or a combination, is the platform and […]
Is everything a prayer
I read this post several times trying to digest and understand. We have given up considerable which makes us human. One is the ability to pause and listen deeply through meditation and prayer. Instead, as is suggested, we look for quick, calculating ways, often without realizing what we are doing, to achieve some material end. The material without the spiritual connections is meaningless.

Circle is a gift to the people
http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/circle-is-a-gift-to-the-people/
Reminded me about a number of times another question keeps coming up on my tracker’s.
Time to answer them.
Some return visitors want the know if native Americans have ceremonies that are not prayers?
Answer
NO!
In our culture, ceremonies are talking with our Supreme Being.
Well at least not in my tribe, village.
Each time this question is asked I would look back through our ceremonies, answer is still no.
From birth to crossing (death) even our dancing, “prayer”!
The main reason for my short to the point answer is, first because it is the truth, also if a leader goes into the Sacred Ceremony in writing, such as the Naming Ceremony, phony’s will copy it for their own benefit, once that happens it is no longer sacred, blessed or native and both parties and yours truly, for putting…

“I’ll Take Spring On The Rocks”
Kenne always provides great pictures and text for them. This is a beautiful combination that reminds us of the importance of finding those moments of silence. I love the idea that silence has a motion to it. It flows in the way similar to water.
“Spring On The Rocks” (Sabino Creek near the dam.) — Image by kenne
“When you sit in silence long enough, you learn that silence has a motion.
It glides over you without shape or form, exactly like water.
Its color is silver.
And silence has a sound you hear only after hours of wading inside it.
The sound is soft, like flute notes rising up, like the words of glass speaking.
Then there comes a point when you must shatter the blindness of its words, the blindness of its light.”
― Anne Spollen, The Shape of Water
For Valentine Lovers Without A Valentine Line
It is not that I don’t have a Valentine. I do. It is that we are separated by about a 12 hour road trip. Despite that, I told Kathy I would post something today that would melt the miles. I told her that during our over hour telephone conversation last night. Paul Simon wrote about 50 ways to leave your lover. Here, are 50 ways to say I love you.
love in power
This is a great post with a beautiful quote. I am reading Wendell Berry right now and essentially he says love begins at home and moves outward. When we take care of the home and those close to us, that process takes care of the world. It seemingly cannot help but do that.
We meet, we smile, we share and we fall. As we fall, we gaze at each other’s cuts and bruises, scars and walls and groom each other through them. For every wound we share, we bond. We feel we understand we can speak the same language,and that we can support each other better. We compare size and depth, dark and light, and we feel intimacy. And further we fall. We connect over stories – so we share stories and drama, we share in empathy and sympathy. There is a comfort in the shadows and the embracing of what has past. And we become integral to each other’s next chapters, supporting actors in the next evolution of the tale.
Some people live by their stories. They are a sum total of everything that has ever happened to them. But as people grow, stories shift. People who want to make progress will…

Another Day In Orbit
This is, as Buddhists might say, the Right Attitude. What does the world have in store for me each day? And, what do I have in store for the world?
