It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye

Deep within everyone's heart there always remains a sense of longing for that hour, that summer, that one brief moment of blossoming. For several weeks or months, rarely longer, a beautiful young woman lives outside ordinary life. She is intoxicated. She feels as if she exists beyond time, beyond its laws; she experiences not the monotonous succession of days passing by, but moments of intense, almost desperate happiness.
-Irene Nemirovsky, Jezebel

Anything that brings you closer to Source brings you closer to your truest form.
Through practice you will discover perfection.  Alas!  We are always in practice
because perfection is seldomly attained in this Life.

Many voices vie for control of your mind
when you sit in silence.
You must learn to discern
what is my voice
and what is not. 
This will take practice.

Awareness fills your mind with Light & Peace,
leaving no room for fear.  Wisdom is gained 
through persistent effort in letting go and 
letting the Storm
take you where it may.

The whirlwind makes no mistakes.

:

close the door, put out the light. 
you know they won't be home tonight. 
the snow falls hard and don't you know? 
the winds of thor are blowing cold. 
they're wearing steel that's bright and true 
they carry news that must get through. 
 
they choose the path where no-one goes. 
 
they hold no quarter. 
 
walking side by side with death,
the devil mocks their every step 
the snow drives back the foot that's slow,
the dogs of doom are howling more 
they carry news that must get through,
to build a dream for me and you 
 
they choose the path where no-one goes. 
 
they hold no quarter. they ask no quarter. 
the pain, the pain without quarter. 
they ask no quarter. 

the dogs of doom are howling more!
