Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Birches Robert Frost When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-coloured As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground, Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm, I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows-- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone. One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them, And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer. He learned all there was To learn about not launching out too soon And so not carrying the tree away Clear to the ground. He always kept his poise To the top branches, climbing carefully With the same pains you use to fill a cup Up to the brim, and even above the brim. Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish, Kicking his way down through the air to the ground. So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And so I dream of going back to be. It's when I'm weary of considerations, And life is too much like a pathless wood Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs Broken across it, and one eye is weeping From a twig's having lashed across it open. I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. Love Always mudra |

Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Greetings, Mudra, for awhile now the level I was operating at was not willing to receive you or your flows.
However, right now I am facing up to some hard truths and felt like returning to the love of Amma the Hugging Saint. Recalling the Universe of her Heart (which I went and looked at) allows me to release some long held in grief because of the joy of knowing there are beings like herself. I would not say she is perfect, and I see she is also seeking her own healing and perfection. But she has realized more than I just how special she is in the Stream of Life and so she is able to give more. I give you Amma's loving administrations: Last edited by Gnosis5; 12-19-2009 at 04:41 AM. |

Based upon what he is saying in regards to "deep looking" I would have to say that the past life therapy I have been using to finally achieve Nirvana is a more aggressive form than meditation of deep looking and the resulting ability of Nirvana. For me Nirvana is a definitive state but needs to be maintained with right practices and education and training. And I continue my "deep looking" work, even now doing "deep looking" for others as those others -- this is very powerful. Please allow me to present more Thich Naht Hahn: |

Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Life as Art. Does anyone recall when the first "canvas" was blackness? What a blessing that they created a society where no one laughs at them for being themselves as artists.

Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Gnosis you are so welcome on this thread.
Thank you for bringing Amma here. The soul is naturally happy and loving. Amma really shows this and radiates from that love that has no boundaries. As she says so well " where there is Love there is no effort " . When there is effort we are just making it complicated for ourselves by stepping back from our true nature, our foundation , our heart. Love from me mudra |

Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Here is a beautifull story that Greybeard shared with me ... God's Wings After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast...because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live. Love Always mudra |

Yes, I recall the first thing I did as a newly born "energy unit" was to create an intriguing and pretty light at the edge of a diffuse blackness: The first intended "note" in my symphony of expression

Hello Brook, as I was watching this splendour of dance I suddenly realized why other beings, certain ET species and races have awe and even some fear us.
We are still irrepressible ... after everything they have tried. Quote:

Yes, I can see her Korean ancestry. My three now grown children are beautifully half-Korean. Korean women have that beautiful opaque opalescent white skin.
cheers! Gnosis Quote:

Re: Love and beauty are pervading our world...
Yes, and sometimes we stole another fellow being's "fire". That's when we started getting lazy -- oh how the sins of the far far past manifest themselves in current life. One only needs to go as far as this lifetime, imho, to close the door on repeating the sins of the past.
