The Greatest Achievement.

The greatest achievement
Is to be alive,
To enjoy each moment
Of each day and to be aware
Of how precious life is.

Each moment lived
Is a moment to be savoured,
To taste the uniqueness of nature,
To immerse yourself in the power of life.

For there is a vitality, a life force
That courses through you,
And makes you
The unique individual that you are.

But do not be deceived
Achievement and success
May have their place
In your life.

But the greatest accomplishment
Is to know Love. To appreciate silence,
And to be at peace with others,
But most of all, with yourself.

Mandala.

The thought arises,
spreading outwards
from the centre
to the periphery
passing through
every point
before it vanishes.

All thoughts
have a rhythm
to them,
some joyous
and uplifting,
some sad,
despairing
and wearisome.

Each thought
arises,
fades, and
vanishes.
But remember
you are not the thought
you are a creation
of the divine.
They are merely
a creation
of your mind.

Seek Silence.

In the tumult of the storm,
there is a silence.
In the crash of waves on the seashore,
there is a pause,
In the torment of the mind,
between the thoughts,
there is a gap.
A divine stillness that speaks to those who can listen.

Being in that stillness,
even for a second,
can feel impossible,
for it is so easily overwhelmed
by the inner storms,
or drowned in the clutter and pace of life.
Is there any wonder so few can find it,
even fewer hold to it?

Strive
Persevere
Practice
Be the
Stillness and
Know the Divine in you.

Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi is sometimes described as an appreciation of a beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.”

I seek.
To be.
Simply
to be
The best I can be.

To make
mistakes
As humans do
But
To learn from them.

To know
disappointment
To accept
setbacks
And yet,
To continue.
to persevere.

To be perfect
In the
imperfections
Which
define me
And shape me.

To know God
To know nature
To be at peace
With myself
And to
Share that peace with others

To know love
To accept love
To give love
To be love
And to strive
To be
nothing
But love.
