~Joy~by~Rabindranath Tagore~~
And Joy is Everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of grey Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there
Everywhere.
"Divine within"
~by Tim Kavi~
the flowing waters
always brings the seed
of the great one
who is called out
he floats as on a reed
in a safe basket
she lives again
birthed in the womb
and when she comes forth
she speaks like an ancient one
this is the way of the goddess
that dances within you
the quantum surfer
he dances on the waves
of a certain path
blessed because
you are the sacred mother
the one on whom the
little life depends
until emerging
there is the nectar
of divinity
that the godhead sends
blessed life
inside of you
touched by your love
be not worried
but blessed
your prayers
are heard
and answered with
a certain
prophetic word
until
all doors will
open
doubts soothed
and ample provisions
are laid
in the light
of a decision you
made
that comes out right!
sweet divine
Nayika
your husband
is blessed because
of the praises
you have sung
and soon to his
door
are riches brung
be not afraid
of the cold night
but covered in the
warmth
of your family's love!

To Believe...... ...............................
Author Unknown .........................................
To believe is to know that every day
is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful surprises
are just waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
If only we believe.
Life I am the new year.
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice
what you have learned about life
during the last twelve months.
All that you sought
and didn't find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out
with more determination.
All the good that you tried for
and didn't achieve
is mine to grant
when you have fewer conflicting desires.
All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do,
all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have --
these slumber lightly,
waiting to be awakened
by the touch of a strong purpose.
I am your opportunity
to renew your allegiance to Him who said,
'behold, I make all things new.'
I am the new year."

Each day as you wake up, make the decision to strive to do what's right.
Approach your life as you would your game....
...when you make a mistake, learn from it, correct it, and get ready for the next point. Life moves too fast to sulk and dwell on the past.
...when you're down, fight harder to get back on top. Life is full of hardships. Fight hard against those feelings of despair.
...when you're doing everything right and still can't win, be patient. No matter how good we are or how hard we struggle to make the right decisions, life often makes us wait.
...when you are on top of your game, relax and enjoy it. Life is fully appreciated when we survive adversity and can relax in the sunlight of success.
Each sunrise brings a new opportunity. No matter how bad the day before was, today is brand new. When you wake up, seek the strength and courage to do the right thing.
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?” … “Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.” …“Triple filter?” …“That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” …“No,” the man said, “Actually I just heard about it and ...” …“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” …“No, on the contrary…” “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?” …“No, not really …” …“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?” /by unknown/

Love, and more love becomes available;
use more and you have more. This is the law of life. You can eat the cake and
have it also. Compassion, love, activity, whatsoever the dimension, the same
rule applies. Whatsoever you want more of, do the same. If you want to become
an infinite source of love, then go on sharing love as much as you can. Don’t
be a miser; only misers lose energy. And we are all misers, that’s why we
always feel dissipated.
A man who lives through conscience becomes hard. A man who lives through consciousness remains soft. Why?--because a man who has some ideas about how to live, naturally becomes hard. He has continuously to carry his character around himself. That character is like an armor; his protection, his security; his whole life is invested in that character. And he always reacts to situations through the character, not directly. If you ask him a question, his answer is ready-made. That is the sign of a hard person--he is dull, stupid, mechanical. He may be a good computer, but he is not a man. You do something and he reacts in a well- established way. His reaction is predictable; he is a robot. The real man acts spontaneously. If you ask him a question, your question gets a response, not a reaction. He opens his heart to your question, exposes himself to your question, responds to it....
My wee fellas and I wish you a beautiful merry Christmas with tons of love, peace in your heart and light on your way. Thank you for being a wonderful friend.
Mind can accept any boundary anywhere. But the reality is that, by its very nature, existence cannot have any boundary, because what will be beyond the boundary - again another sky. That's why I'm saying skies upon skies are available for your flight. Don't be content easily. Those who remain content easily remain small: small are their joys, small are their ecstasies, small are their silences, small is their being. But there is no need! This smallness is your own imposition upon your freedom, upon your unlimited possibilities, upon your unlimited potential.
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
Have you ever wished, when a day went wrong a wish that's quite in vain that it were only possible to live that day again You'd start out in the morning with the prayers you should have said and through the days your actions with tolerance be led The many little instances that tried your patience, true if only you could start again you'd know now what to do You'd kneel and say your evening prayers and thank the lord above for all the pleasant hours past your heart at peace with love But since this is a wish in vain and never can be true there's only one alternative just one thing you can do To live today in such a way that when tomorrow comes the memories of yesterday will all be cherished ones.
