When Things "Go Wrong"

This is my wish for you

This is my wish for you:

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Hugs when spirits sag,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Patience to accept the truth,
Courage to know yourself,
Love to complete your life.

That's How the Light Gets In: Send Your Light to Haiti

The birds they sang at the break of day
"Start again", I seemed to hear them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away
Or what is yet to be

Now the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove, she will be caught again
Bought and sold and bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

The Dalai Lama on Compassion

My message is the practice of compassion, love and kindness. These things are very useful in our daily life, and also for the whole of human society these practices can be very important.

Mi corazón contiene un oceano
de amor puro y divino
 
Sus olas dejó en libertad
para encontrar el camino
y con alegría las arenas tocar
 
Llegaron a islas desiertas
que con  desinterés ignoraron
los suaves roces
que sus orillas tocaron
 
A su paso encontraron
acantilados rocosos
que arrancaron de ellas
rugidos dolorosos
 
A salvo se mantuvieron

Eternal Romance

My Heart holds an ocean
of divine, pure Love

Its waves were released
to find their way,
to touch sand with Joy

They reached deserted islands
that carelessly ignored
the loving touch along their shores

They found rocky cliffs
that made them roar with pain
wanting to be safe
their force retained

Why Random Acts of Kindness Are So Important

We first heard the saying practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty, many years ago when we were at Findhorn, the renowned spiritual community in Scotland. It always struck us as being the most obvious thing to do, that practicing kindness and beauty should be a natural expression of who we are.

The Gentle Art of Blessing (a New Year)

On awakening, bless this day, for it is already full of unseen good which your blessings will call forth; for to bless is to acknowledge the unlimited good that is embedded in the very texture of the universe and awaiting each and all.

On passing people in the street, on the bus, in places of work and play, bless them. The peace of your blessing will accompany them on their way and the aura of its gentle fragrance will be a light to their path.
