In a dance of power, difficulty precedes harmony. -motherpeace

He has cured his tooth ache at the cost of his tongue!

"Akk, if I could only turn back the clock a few seconds..."

But no matter how hard you wish,
once a thing is done or said
there is no going back for do-overs.

It's a done deal.



"Don't be so humble - you are not that great."
~ Golda Meir 1898-1978


from Quirkeries



















I ask, if i shall never see you again and fix my eyes on that solidity,
what form will our communication take?
-Virginia Woolf

I can hold pain, without it controlling me.


I take comfort where I find it.


I leave behind old habits, taking with me only what I need.

Ace of Cups

THE VESSEL AND THE CUP
from a Hasidic story


What cup knows the distress
of the large vessel, knows
any more than two inches
of the purple? For the cup
everything that fills up
is equal--the little jug,
the pot, the large vessel.
Beyond its own meniscus
nothing's knowable for a cup.
But the vessel wishes
one something
could use it up.

-Kay Ryan

Offering
the Root of
the Powers of Water

( ( ( g o i n g w i t h t h e f l o w ) ) )

After the grace in the dive, a gentle landing is assured, a friendly welcome from the depths of the unconscious. -motherpeace

...prominent emanations of energy
spanning out in a web of connectivity.

I drink in the evening. I drink in the sky.

My heart swells, vast and great as Heaven Herself.

She fills my soul. She feeds my dreams.

And I believe.

-crone

The silver cup is the vessel,
the chalice, the grail....
It promises a joyous experience of letting go into unconditional love,
the spaciousness of the open heart.
-motherpeace

...the movement of water always moves towards depth, it always searches for the lowest ground.
It is non-ambitious; it never hankers to be first, it wants to be last.
