Mysticism and Spirituality Circle
A site to share inspirational poetry, readings, and practices to support our sangha of spiritual seekers on their paths.
With thanks to Tarana for posting this on FB. May it be so.
May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need.”
~Shantideva, 8th century Buddhist monk
I just wanted to share this lovely quote from Alexia Allen of Hawthorn farm. She puts out a blog that is always entertaining and profound in its earth-based wisdom and loving grace.
“You can tell our hemisphere is tilting away from the sun. It shows in the yellowing alder leaves, the slant of the light, the shifted constellations. You can tell by the smells, by the steam from the compost pile on a cool morning, by the pumpkins swelling on the vine. Spring blossoms seem so long ago. Late summer is filled with sweet wistfulness. It’s the season of blackberries on vanilla ice cream, the season of knowing that summer will end. No one ever knows the whole future. We all muddle towards it, because we’re all human. The best we can do is trust each moment and ourselves, and absorb the beauty around us whenever we need it. May you breathe deeply and peacefully as you bask in golden sunlight.”
