"All things change... Joy comes, it gives way to pain. Love remains. It is the glue of life, the beauty of life. Even sadness is this love, love just loving itself."
@jasonhenza@Mad_Donna_ She needs to feel secure so soon after being adopted. Set reasonable boundaries but also affection for doing what you want. Teach her crate training and how great the crate is and put her there, to restrict her freedom. But NOT out of anger.
Who really sees through your eyes?
Pay attention to who is really looking
And you will discover the beloved,
The secret one, quietly and without drama
Looking out through you
God looks through your eyes
No need to search
Realize.
'When you relinquish the need to control life, you find yourself falling into the gap between thoughts. And in this gap, you discover the gift of the moment. It’s a timeless freedom that is untarnished by what did happen and what might happen.' - AM
When the fight with life is over
All that is left is loving what is
From that moment on
All you can do is love it all
Including your experience and the world
However it shows up
But first you must end the fight with life.
It’s ok to have regrets
Sorrows or grief
But leave enough space around them
For love’s acceptance
Dividing everything up
Into wanted and unwanted
Only perpetuates
This idea of separation
If regret is there, let it be
Sorrow? Welcome, have a seat
Grief? Come, sit by the fire.
Give up being someone
And live as this glorious emptiness
Be undefined
Live in the gaps between things
Nobody will notice
They are all too busy
Being someone
But you will have
An inner freedom
That shines out
Like a quiet sun.
To see that which rises
And that which falls
As the same
To hold fortune and failure
Equally gently in an open hand
To see birth and death
As the same points on the wheel
To know the arrows of judgment
And the sting of attack
Cannot touch the essence of us
Is peace.
This language I’m speaking
your heart alone knows.
It is not English or French
or anything else.
Mind cannot know it
for mind has become limited
by its association with personhood.
Your heart alone knows
for it understands without study
the mystery of I Am.
