At 19, I read a sentence that re-terraformed my head: “The level of matter in the universe has been constant since the Big Bang.” In all the aeons we have lost nothing, we have gained nothing – not a speck, not a grain, not a breath. The universe is simply a sealed, twisting kaleidoscope that…

A brief wisdom quote from Leo Tolstoi on the most important advice…
“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.” LEO TOLSTOY
MYSTICAL POEMS: “Sit and be still” by Wendell Berry
“Sit and be still” Sit and be still until in the time of no rain you hear beneath the dry wind’s commotion in the trees the sound of flowing water among the rocks, a stream unheard before, and you are where breathing is prayer. by Wendell Berry
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Relax” (espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria “Calma”)
Relax I am calm, peaceful, and relaxed. Is there something in my life that is making me feel tense? Am I in conflict with someone? It is easy to become so focused on such situations that it can be a challenge to let go. At times like these, it is important to find ways to…
A wisdom quote about the interconnected universe and our actions by David R. Hawkins
“Every thought, action, decision, or feeling creates an eddy in the interlocking, inter-balancing, ever-moving energy fields of life, leaving a permanent record for all of time. This realization can be intimidating when it first dawns on us, but it becomes a springboard for rapid evolution. In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our…
POEMS: “The Past” By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
THE PAST I fling the past behind me, like a robe Worn threadbare in the seams, and out of date. I have outgrown it. Wherefore should I weep And dwell upon its beauty, and its dyes Of Oriental splendour, or complain That I must needs discard it? I can weave Upon the shuttles of…
A wisdom quote from Meister Eckhart on finding God everywhere
A man may go into the field and say his prayer and be aware of God, or, he may be in Church and be aware of God; but, if he is more aware of Him because he is in a quiet place, that is his own deficiency and not due to God, Who is alike…
Nature Poems: “white heron rises over black water” by Mary Oliver
White heron rises over black water I wonder what it is that I will accomplish today if anything can be called that marvelous word. It won’t be my kind of work, which is only putting words on a page, the pencil haltingly calling up the light of the world, yet nothing appearing on paper…
A wisdom quote from Fr. Richard Rohr about prayer and the Oneness with God
Prayer is something that happens to you (Romans 8:26-27), much more than anything you privately do. It is an allowing of the Big Self more than an assertion of the small self. Eventually you will find yourself preferring to say, “Prayer happened, and I was there” more than “I prayed today.” All you know is…
POEMS: “Wordless Whispers” by Mystic Meandering
Wordless Whispers… Who is here for you, in your vulnerability, your fragility? Maybe you talk to “God”… The Buddha, maybe Allah, or the Divine Mother…? It doesn’t matter what “God” you believe in.. “The Mystery” holds them all… What comforts you? What calms your agitated mind? Can you feel the invisible arms around your…
Mystical Poems: “Hidden gems” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Hidden Gems We know not what lies in us, till we seek. Men dive for pearls—they are not found on shore; The hillsides, most unpromising and bleak, Do sometimes hide the ore. Go, dive in the vast ocean of thy mind, O man! far down below the noisy waves, Down in the…
