Reading at Waimea practice 10/15/2011 My practice moves from edge to edge, exploring the limits of a stretch, the inner realm of energy and breath.  Each movement plumbs new depths of self-awareness. Who am I now, and now, and now?  Who holds this pose with single-pointed focus, or loses the thread of breath and stops [...]]]> http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/10/the-essence-of-my-practice-2/feed/ 0 http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/09/the-essence-of-my-practice/ http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/09/the-essence-of-my-practice/#comments Fri, 16 Sep 2011 04:12:06 +0000 Paul Reynolds http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/?p=5407

Reading at Anara practice 7/06/2011 "I am everywhere present," said the Lord. Seek me in the stately trees or the melodies of sparrows and you will surely find me. Look for me in the Buddha's smile, the countenance of Christ, the words of the Koran and Sanskrit prayers. I am always there. Turn your attention [...]]]> http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/07/one-and-two-are-both-true/feed/ 0 http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/06/just-for-now-2/ http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/06/just-for-now-2/#comments Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:45:16 +0000 Paul Reynolds http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/?p=1744
Reading at Anara Practice 6/27/2011 Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders. Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it. Just for now, [...]]]> http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/06/just-for-now-2/feed/ 0 http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/03/pairs-of-opposites/ http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/03/pairs-of-opposites/#comments Wed, 30 Mar 2011 20:45:21 +0000 Paul Reynolds http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/?p=4630
Reading at Anara practice 3/30/2011 I was born to bridge the pairs of opposites, to span the apparent distance between light and dark, joy and sorrow. I exist to see past differences, to open my arms so wide that all I can see and know and be is inside my reach. I am here to [...]]]> http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2011/03/pairs-of-opposites/feed/ 0 http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2010/10/this-surprising-truth-2/ http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2010/10/this-surprising-truth-2/#comments Thu, 07 Oct 2010 16:14:00 +0000 Paul Reynolds http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/?p=3786
This I say from my dwelling place within your heart: Do not miss me in your focus on transcendence. Look closely at the world. I am the orange glow of dawn, sun the color of monk's robes shining equally upon all beings. I am your frustration as you seek me and come up empty. I [...]]]> http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2010/10/this-surprising-truth-2/feed/ 0 http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2010/08/the-taste-of-truth-2/ http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/2010/08/the-taste-of-truth-2/#comments Mon, 02 Aug 2010 03:24:33 +0000 Paul Reynolds http://www.unlimited-ideas.com/wordpress/?p=817
Reading at Anara practice 08/01/2010 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.

Reading from Kalaheo practice 07/27/09 Lord, thank you for this time to be, to see/and live in harmony. Thank you for sanctifying each act and thought, for teaching me that the heart's expansion and contraction is just a natural part of being human.
