Nothing pointed about it: I'm very into quotations.
( for those into Myers-Briggs I'm INFJ personality type, we LOVE quotations! )
I've quoted things many times here.
One thing I am finding as this journey unfolds is a need to balance up the aspects of life: the physical, emotional, intellectual, creative and now at last the spiritual.
Poetry particularly is as essential to me as looking at the birds and trees or eating well, it's a huge part of the whole me.
eg. this Yeats:
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Beautiful. Uplifting.
"The heart of most spiritual practice is simply this: Remember. Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember that you will die, and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live."
Thanks clj, that sums it up perfectly.
It feels really good to remember who I am and what I really want to be and do. I forgot for a long time.
