Seeing The Beauty Every Day

I'd like to know that you can see the Beauty every day
and guide your life by its Presence. I'd like to know
that you can see the Beauty,
even when it's not pretty every day…

Learning The Hard Way

Anyone who teaches
that solo experience is not the best teacher
is not the best teacher.

Solo experience
now and then teaches the hard way,
but the hard way is the unforgettable way.

Open The Doors Of Perception

Educators have not only an opportunity
but an obligation to open the ‘doors of perception’ for all students.
The enduring purpose of education
is to provide students with a perception
of the outer reaches of their talents and possibilities
and, ideally, to give them a reason to continue to learn
and contribute to their society for all of their lives.
~ Bernice Bleedorn

All Is Being Purified

This life, therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness;
not health, but healing; not being, but becoming;
not rest, but exercise.

We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it.
The process is not yet finished, but
it is going on.

This is not the end, but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory, but
all is being purified.
~ Martin Luther

Connect To One's Core

When one is a stranger to oneself,
then one is estranged from others…
Only when one is connected to one’s core
is one truly connected to others.

Discovering What Is True

This time is about uncovering and discovering what is true….
The big old spruce that stand behind the cabin
reminds me that both of us grow by thrusting our roots
into the darkness as well as our branches into the light.

Coming Home To Myself

…I need to come home to myself.
It’s not really how far I move
to find my own wisdom that matters,
but it’s crucially important
that I take myself along on the journey.

Something Brushed Across My Mind

Was something brushed across my mind
That no one on earth will ever find?
Heaven gives its glimpses only to those
Not in positions to look too close.

Liberty And Independence

What constitutes the bulwark
of our own liberty and independence?

It is not our crowning battlements,
our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.
These are not our reliance against tyranny.
All of these may be turned against us
without making us weaker for the struggle.

Our reliance is in the spirit which prized liberty
as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere.

Destroy this spirit
and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors.
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage
and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.

Accustom to trample on the rights of others
and you have lost the genius of your own independence
and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant
who rises among you.
~ Abraham Lincoln
