Soothing

Author: Administrator
Category: Good Words

Many thanks to Lianne of Maternal Alchemy for this.

“As the great 14-century Sufi poet Hafiz reminds us:

Just sit there right now

Don’t do a thing

Just rest.

For your separation from God,

From Love,

Is the hardest work

In this

World.”

Yeah, I loved that one.

It is hard work.. that separation. Good thing we have the internet, so at least I’m not separated from you.

This reminds me of a Buddhism-themed poster I heard about which encourages passers by to prepare to do absolutely nothing and then, do it! Good advice (and not meant for the faint at heart…)

    Good Words

      To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to keep your soul alive.
