The Great Way – TAO – is not difficult,

for those who have no preferences.

When love and hate are both absent

everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Make the smallest distinction, however,

and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

If you wish to ee the truth

then hold no opinions for or against

The struggle for what one likes and what

on dislikes, is the disease of the mind

brick-bicycle

When the deep meaning of things is not understood

the mind’s essential peace is disturbed  to no avail

The Way is perfect like vast space

where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.

Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject

that we do not see the true nature of things.

Live neither in the entanglements of outer things, or the in inner feelings of emptiness.

Be serene (without striving activity) in the oneness of things and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves.

When  you try to stop activity to achieve passivity your very effort fills you with activity.

As long as you remain in one extreme or the other.   You will never know Oneness.

When all the world is quiet around you

When only the sound of nature us there to soothe you

do you hear my voice at all

seeing the roots exposed, then leading back down unto the ground

do you wonder at how that tree stands so  tall

I am, here you know

in every blade of grass,

in every branch that reaches for the sky

in every crystal grain of sand

You need only look around you, to see me

all around, and yes, that bird calling

and the chattering of the squirrels, those are all my sounds

for I am the world around you

and you my child are mine too

        now forever and always.

         Namaste   –   Oyashikiri

my prayer

103d13599629856692b716fc8e1a4bf6

Sometimes when the road ahead seems  unsure,there is nothing to do but to pray, Trust in the Universe to guide you on what you need to do. There is a difference between closing our eyes to what should be done, and trying everything else we can do, so that we can escape the road that should and must be taken.  AND, simply not knowing how or what to do because you are overwhelmed with the present, and find you cannot make a decision.

No one is spared that inner voice that comes to us in the night, or during the day and whispers words that cause us doubt, and lead us to worry.

We have the voice of reason, and the voice of doubt, AND, yes there is an AND, we have our connection to the Universe that is the strongest of all, and the ONE that is pure and true.  It is not part of the mind, but of your heart/soul/spirit.

My prayer is that God/Universe will always see me through, not when I want it to happen, but when the time is right, I will know what to do.

Namaste     –      Oyashikiri
