There is a place in the heart where everything meets.Go there if you want to find me.Mind, senses, soul, eternity, all are there.Are you there?Enter the bowl of vastness that is the heart.Give yourself to it with total abandon…Once you know the waythe nature of attention will call youto return, again and again,and be saturated with […]
Thanks to life, by Violeta Parra
Thanks to life that has given me so much Gave me two stars and when I open them Perfectly distinguishing between black and white And in the high sky, the starry background And in the crowd, the man I love. Thanks to life that has given me so much Gave me hearing, which in all […]

Give me your hand, by Clarice Lispector
Give me your hand: I will now tell you how I entered the inexpressible which has always been my blind and secret quest. How I entered into what exists between the number one and the number two, of how I saw the line of mystery and fire, and that it is a surreptitious line. Between […]
You Reading This, Be Ready, by William Stafford
Starting here, what do you want to remember? How sunlight creeps along a shining floor? What scent of old wood hovers, what softened sound from outside fills the air?
