Apiarians V




Click here for an explanation of the title.


When we are face to face with truth, the point of view of Krishna, Buddha, Christ, or any other Prophet, is the same. When we look at life from the top of the mountain, there is no limitation; there is the same immensity.
~Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Mystic
Any way we receive the Spirit is just as real and just as good as any other. God meets us where we are and makes a healing and expanding presence known to us in the exact way we are most ready to experience it. God fills our hearts in whatever measure we are open to the Spirit, just like any true Lover might desire to do.
Richard Rohr

GRANDFATHER, WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT; TO LOVE OR TO BE LOVED?
HE REPLIED: WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT TO THE BIRD, THE LEFT WING OR THE RIGHT WING?    

                Lakota saying  






  

Be with those who help your being...

Be with those who help your being.
Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath
comes cold out of their mouths.
Not these visible forms, your work is deeper.
A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks to pieces.
If you don't try to fly,
and so break yourself apart,
you will be broken open by death,
when it's too late for all you could become.
Leaves get yellow. The tree puts out fresh roots
and makes them green.
Why are you so content with a love that turns you yellow?

Rumi
