"The true mind can weather all lies and illusions without being lost.

The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being hard.

Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void

but always yields to purify light."

[sunkissedseba]

Our actions are all too frequently driven, rather than undertaken in awareness. Driven by those fears and impulses that run through the mind like a coursing river, if not a waterfall. We get caught up in the torrent and it winds up submerging our lives as it carries us to places we may not wish to go and may not even realize we are headed for.

Meditation practice means learning how to get out of this current, sit by its bank and listen to it, learn from it, and then use its energies to guide us rather than have it rule over us.

"Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in the eyes of the Divine. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed...

I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other."

Normalise liking poetry because you like the way it sounds and art because you think its beautiful. You don’t have to understand the deeper meaning of something to appreciate it - poetry is bloody difficult to analyse and art requires an extensive knowledge of movements and artists to properly get - so please just wonder around art galleries and decide which pieces you’d buy if you could, and read out lines of poetry simply because they have a nice ring to them.

This week's affirmation:

"Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who understand that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers."

BLACK WOMEN + SPORTS

[sunkissedseba]

Black Women’s bones are not made of steel

Our skin bruises, and our tear ducts work. Black Women cry when we are feeling pain. Black Women feel anxious when we are scared. Black Women battle mental health. Black Women have body images. Black Women FEEL. BLACK WOMEN are human

#BlackWomenMatter 💜✊🏾
