The dream of my life Is to lie down by a slow river And stare at the light in the trees — To learn something by being nothing A little while but the rich Lens of attention.
~ Mary Oliver from "Entering the Kingdom" in DEVOTIONS
If you fuse knowledge of your transcendent origin with tireless service in and for God, you will come, on earth and in this body, to know divine joy and be fed by the ceaseless passion-energy of divine love. Human and divine, inner peace and outer action, knowledge and love, will be married in you at ever greater depths to make you an ever more powerful and radiant warrior for Love and Justice in all dimensions.
~ from A WALK WITH FOUR SPIRITUAL GUIDES by Andrew Harvey
