Meditation

Ed CrowleyTaoism; Lao Tzu and Wu Wei Group

Don’t ask me
about meditation
Ask me what
is not meditation
I sit anywhere
I meditate
I stand anywhere
I meditate
I walk anywhere
I meditate
Everything I do
is meditation
I simply follow
the Way

So this then is the meaning of “above all, don’t wobble”? And is this then the meaning of all the falls that I’ve taken lately, that I am not mindful, am not caring in my actions, small or large or ordinary?

Psyche’s Call by Donna May

“A real story touches not only the mind but also the imagination and the unconscious depths in a person, and it may remain with him or her through many years, coming to the surface of consciousness now and then to yield new insights.” ~Helen M. Luke, The Way of Woman

We Are

We do not become healers.
We came as healers. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories
we and our ancestors actually lived. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists. We came as artists. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become writers.. dancers.. musicians.. helpers.. peacemakers. We came as such. We are.

Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not learn to love in this sense.
We came as Love. We are Love.
Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.

P.S. Moore, or More More

My apologies, as it occurs to me that not everyone would know who Thomas Moore is. That is Saint Thomas Moore, from the 15th century, hence the prophetic words quoted in the previous post. To provide information, with credit to Thomas More – Wikipedia:

Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More,^[7][8] was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532.^[9] He wrote Utopia, published in 1516,^[10] which describes the political system of an imaginary island state. He had died before it was published.

The play, A Man For All Seasons was about Sir Thomas. He ultimately met his end (as did many) at the hands of King Henry VIII’s executioner. It should be noted that his last name was spelled both ways: More and Moore.
