Bring this home

Here, where you are

quiet the mind

and open your heart

Let your heart be wise.

Grounded

One hand in the beauty of the world.

One hand in the suffering of all beings.

And two feets grounded in the present moment.

The only place to truly love is just where you are.

Love in the past is a memory,

love in the future is a fantasy.

Today is today.

Today is not yesterday,

today is not tomorrow.

Today is today.

Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the earth,

let’s not speak in any language;

let’s stop for one second,

it would be an exotic moment without rush,

without engines;

we would all be together in a sudden strangeness.

quiet

Live your life in the world.

The water goes on down the stream.

You chop the wood and carry the water.

You do your thing.

A holy man gave two men each a chicken. And said:

“Go kill them when no one can see”.

One guy went behind the fence and killed the chicken.

The other guy walked around for two days and came back with the chicken.

The holy man said: you didn’t kill the chicken? The guy said:

“well everywhere I go, the chicken sees”
