I shall just ask you to be mindful of the title of my blog today and pass it on. The power of prayer should not be underestimated.
My two sons do wish for their father to remain single and although I cannot agree with them I have to go along with them happily until the universe sings a different song with me!
So for now I art out time between silence, joy and noise; loving every moment, thing and everyone!
it is all good and I appreciate you
looking at this and I appreciate you
for being you. Yet you can say I am,
with me! I am me and I am one.
You are, I am we are one.
One love.
I am here now present in
a state of love for all.
One of the attributes of the saint is that he has no fear, for fear is anticipating some disagreeable event that might come or expecting that something beloved might pass away in the future. The saint is concerned only with the present moment. He has no future to fear.
- From the Sufi tradition
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing.
This is the ultimate.

I weave a silence onto my lips.
I weave a silence into my mind.
I weave a silence within my heart.
I close my ears to distractions.
I close my eyes to attractions.
I close my heart to temptations.
I weave a silence into my mind.
I weave a silence within my heart.
I close my ears to distractions.
I close my eyes to attractions.
I close my heart to temptations.
Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm.
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all tumult within me cease.
Enfold me, Lord, in your peace.
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all tumult within me cease.
Enfold me, Lord, in your peace.
- From the Gaelic tradition
What can we gain by sailing to the moon
if we cannot cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?
- Thomas Merton
The greatest of all delusions is the conviction that knowledge is not a delusion.
- Tripura Rahasya
In the market, in the cloister – only God I saw.
In the valley and on the mountain – only God I saw.
Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;
In favor and in fortune – only God I saw.
In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,
In the religion of the Prophet – only God I saw.
Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,
Qualities nor causes – only God I saw.
I opened mine eyes and by the light of his face around me
In all the eye discovered – only God I saw.
Like a candle I was melting in his fire:
Amidst the flames outflashing – only God I saw.
Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,
But when I looked with God’s eyes – only God I saw.
I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,
And lo, I was the All-living – only God I saw.
- Baba Kuhi of Shiraz
You are all searching for the silence of the mountain. But you’re looking for something outside. This silence is accessible to you right now, inside the center of your own being.
- Ramana Maharshi
Have a day of wonder my brothers and sisters. Be love and forgiveness for self and others. In the beginning and end there`s only one love and so lets enjoy this time in our many manifestations. Your bro Peter
