There are galaxies in your heart
Stardust in your mind
You are the universe itself
Condensed into form
You have arrived as a miracle
From the great unknown
For a brief moment to experience life
With all its myriad joys and tragedies
How can you not love.

When we live from this silence, something subtle but profound changes. We respond rather than react. We listen more deeply. We move with greater care. Our words carry the fragrance of stillness, and our actions begin to reflect the peace we have found within.2/

More on Silence
You can discover this silence anywhere — in the pause between breaths, in the quiet after laughter, in the stillness between thoughts. Even amidst activity, this presence remains. It does not demand withdrawal from the world, only a softening into what is already here.1/

You are a sick man! So out of step with the majority of US voters.

To rest in this silence is to touch eternity. For in silence, the illusion of separation dissolves.4/

When attention relaxes into being, the doorway opens naturally. The restlessness of the mind begins to soften. The weight of the past, the anticipation of the future — they loosen their grip. And what remains is simple, wordless peace.3/

To meet this silence is to come home. It requires no technique, only a gentle willingness to stop running — to stop turning away from the immediacy of this moment. 2/

At the core of our human experience, beneath thought and emotion, beneath the movement of time and the stories of becoming, there is a silence. Not the silence of suppression, nor the absence of sound, but a living stillness — awake, infinite, immeasurable.1/

Restlessness can appear in the great expanse, but that pure awareness itself, is it restless?

Is it personal or impersonal?
It is this that I refer to as your Self.”2/

“You come to a place where there is this space that is simply here.
Does it need anything?
Is there any sense of dissatisfaction here? 1/

Every moment is holy
But we are blinkered
And see through mundane eyes
The divine is in all creation
Yet we see it in nothing
Pull back the curtains
And there it is
As it always was
But you were ignoring it.

Existence has already said Yes. You are that Yes. And the invitation is to rest there — to live as that openness, as that simplicity, as that unshakeable Yes that is love itself.4/

So, I invite you to begin noticing where the “no” still operates in you — not as a judgment, but as an inquiry. Where does resistance show itself? Where does the body tighten, where does the mind contract? In seeing that, you are already one step closer to the Yes that contains it all.3/

When you stop rejecting them, they begin to move freely, like water flowing once the dam has been lifted. Healing happens in that movement.2/

This Yes also transforms how you meet pain and discomfort. Grief, loss, or physical ache are not enemies to be banished. They are movements of energy arising in the same field of being.1/
