Letting it Go
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond the winning.” — Lao Tzu “If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.” — Ajahn Chah We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. —...

Warm waves gently Lapping about us The summer current Partners in our play Again Daddy! Again! Nose to nose Pure innocence beamed And I wondered Who really was holding who? Are you ready?

Read MoreThis Chapter
This chapter is closed now Not one word more Until we meet some day and the voices rising To the window Take wing and fly Open the old casement To the lands we have forgotten Look To the mountains and ridgeways And the steep valleys, Quilted by green, Here, as the last words fall away, the great and silent rivers of life Are flowing into the oceans And on a day like any other they will carry you...
Read MoreThe Taste of Truth
For the moment I’ve stopped struggling. The undertow tugs at my clothes and the current takes me where it will. Surrender sounds like defeat but this tastes like victory the sweet release into something open empty yet complete. My heart speaks instructing me to relinquish all control, I close my eyes and see myself dissolving while remaining whole. When at last I am delivered gasping to the...

Read MoreGoddess of Autumn
We’ve made a bouquet of decorative grass. We’ve woven a garland of night blossoms. We’ve brought our offering of newly ripened paddy. Come, O goddess of Autumn, in Your chariot of white cloud. Come on Your pure blue path. Come in the clean bright forest hills. Come, wearing in Your crown white lotuses, freshly bedewed. Your throne is arranged with fallen jasmine flowers in a...
Read MoreWhat part of your life do you need to shed?
Here’s a letter we wrote to America’s richest woman, Oprah Winfrey. “Dear Oprah,” we began. “Please buy up all the Pizza Huts and convert them into a network of Menstrual Huts. Create 10,000 or 100,000 local neighborhood sanctuaries where women can retreat while they’re in the throes of their monthly appointment with dying and purification — or anytime...
Read MoreBEFORE
Before… you cling. You cling to hopes and fears and even people without realizing what you’re doing. The Teacher says: “Pull that straw out of their neck! And out of yours while you’re at it! Stop leaking life force. The Age of Vampires is over! Forget any notion of enemies. Your only jihad, your only struggle, is with yourself. Until you burn the ego once and for...
Read MoreLet Go Once Again
Let go of that which is gone. Let go of that which is lost. Let go of that which is not yet happening. What has happened in the past and what will happen in the future exist only in your mind. What is happening now is the infinite caress of the universe. To touch the eternal now and let it enfold you in its infinite Love is the essence of being in love. What is happening now is the perfect...
Read MoreThe Edge of who we are
Through the disciplined precision of our efforts, we’ll come again and again to our edge-the difficult places beyond which we’ve previously been unable to move. Through the willingness to soften and surrender to what is, we learn that we can gradually move beyond that edge. It is only through this interplay of hard and soft, of effort and letting be, of will and willingness, that...
