psalm one
Psalm
1
“Blessed are the
man and the woman
who have grown
beyond their greed
and have put an
end to their hatred
and no longer
nourish illusions.
But they delight
in the way things are
and keep their
hearts open, day and night.
They are like
trees planted near flowing rivers,
which bear fruit
when they are ready.
Their leaves
will not fall or wither.
Everything they
do will succeed.”
translated by Stephen
Mitchell
from The
Enlightened Heart
p. 5

wounds like stones
"There is no freedom until we dance the ghosts
from the chambers of our wounds,
until we pile our wounds like stones
at the mouth of our own quarries."
- Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening, p.201

do the hustle
"When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves
from the parts of our lives that don't fit
with who we think we're supposed to be,
we stand outside of our story and
hustle for our worthiness by constantly
performing, perfecting, pleasing and proving.
Our sense of worthiness - that critically important piece
that gives us access to love and belonging -
lives inside of our story."
-Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection, p. 23

reckless shreiking
"Everything is
blooming most recklessly;
if it were
voices instead of colors,
there
would be an unbelievable shrieking
into the heart of the night."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
May we all bloom recklessly
today.
