Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

~ Rabindranath Tagore

It’s like a dance. And we have to give each being space to dance their dance. Everything is dancing; even the molecules inside the cells are dancing. But we make our lives so heavy. We have these incredibly heavy burdens we carry with us like rocks in a big rucksack. We think that carrying this big heavy rucksack is our security; we think it grounds us. We don’t realize the freedom, the lightness ...of just dropping it off, letting it go. That doesn’t mean giving up relationships; it doesn’t mean giving up one’s profession, or one’s family,or one’s home. It has nothing to do with that; it’s not an external change. It’s an internal change. It’s a change from holding on tightly to holding very lightly.
~ Tenzin Palmo, in an extract from "Into the Heart of Life"

I've come all this way eager for you,
without shoes or shawl.
I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries.
to love you, to nourish you.
Oh sweet bitterness,
... I will soothe you and heal you.
I will bring you roses.
I too have been covered with thorns.

~ Rumi

When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.

One of the hallmarks of an evolved person is the ability to tell the truth with no fear of punishment or expectation of reward.

Love is an action, a choice. Love is not really an emotion.
