May the Universe bless the space between us in 2015: The laughter of God


"May your prayer of listening deepen enough,
To hear in the depths the laughter of God."

May the Universe bless the space between us: Silence smiles on the other side of what's sad

 
"As silence smiles on the other side of what's sad,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.
As time remains free of all that it frames,
May your mind stay clear of all that it names."

May the Universe bless the space between us in 2015:Like the design of moonlight restoring the earth







"Like the design of moonlight restoring the earth

May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect
As water takes whatever shape it is in
So free may you be about what you become."

Ref: John O'Donohue

May the Universe bless the space between us in 2015

















Let me share stanzas from ‘To Bless the Space between us’ by John O’Donohue that I found inspiring:

“Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore, /
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul. /
As the wind loves to call things to dance/

May your gravity be lightened by grace,

May the Universe bless the space between us in 2015



It’s a new year, a new day, a new you, a time for new beginnings…There’s a beautiful Irish blessing:

 “May the road rise up to meet you,
 May the wind be ever at your back.
 May the sun shine warm upon your face
 and the rain fall softly on your fields….
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”


Artist: Pablo Picasso

Immortality and eternal youth







Immortality and eternal youth are two fantasies many of us cherish. The moment you stop stressing over your body and become aware of your mind, heart and soul, you've hit the home run, you’re there.   This little exchange between Alice and the White Rabbit sums it all up:

Alice: How long is forever?
White Rabbit: Sometimes just one second...
