When the policeman told him that he could get hurt driving that fast, he replied that the Lord was with him. The policeman says, "Well, let Him get out and ride with me 'cause you're gonna kill him!"

LoveAlways, b (( Ut Unam Sint! - That they may be one! "I consider it a sign of great mercy shown me by the Lord Jesus that he continues to give me his peace, and even exterior signs of grace which, I am told, explain the imperturbable serenity that enables me to enjoy, in every hour of my day, a simplicity and meekness of soul that keep me ready to leave all at a moment's notice and depart for eternal life." "Do you want some more strawberries?" KNIGHT (shakes his head) Faith is a torment, did you know that? It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call. MIA I don't understand what you mean. KNIGHT Everything I've said seems meaningless and unreal while I sit here with you and your husband. How unimportant it all becomes suddenly. He takes the bowl of milk in his hand and drinks deeply from it several times. Then he carefully puts it down and looks up, smiling. MIA Now you don't look so solemn. KNIGHT I shall remember this moment. The silence, the twilight, the bowls of strawberries and milk, your faces in the evening light. Mikael sleeping, Jof with his lyre. I'll try to remember what we have talked about. I'll carry this memory between my hands as carefully as if it were a bowl filled to the brim with fresh milk. He turns his face away and looks out towards the sea and the colorless gray sky.

I love your swing curls and Your earlocks. If you come anywhere near My sandlewood doors, I will lock you in. Mira's Lord is half lion and Half man, and She turns her life over to the Midnight of His Hair." ~ Mirabai Mira has offered herself to the Dark One and can't go back to her old house -- nor can we cease praising making love with That One, the Mountain Energy, night and day, taking the path that ecstatic human beings have taken for centuries,making love with the Dark One and eating little. She has felt the same swaying of the Elephant's Shoulders as it tramples through the jungle of resistance to the Heart. Is it any wonder we no longer seek to ride the slippery back of that darting lizard of knowing and chameleon certainty? Her Lord is the One Who lifts mountains. He removes delusion from our eyes. A glimpse of Him is water. How thirsty we are for That! "For safety, She goes to Him. For safety She goes to Him." No matter what we do to become sober, we stay drunk on His Wine. Mira drank poison, tasting only Prasad. "She repeated the Holy Name in her chest. It was good! Every name He has is Praise. Every name He has is Praise. That's the Cup we like to drink -- only that Cup." LoveAlways, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The openings of the Mother-Deep are called the Root of The Universe and Our World. Ceaselessly, ceaselessly, It nourishes and preserves: Inexhaustible, without effort." These two, the Manifest and the Unmanifest, although differing in name, in essence are identical. This sameness is the mystery, the deep within the deep, the door of many mysteries – The Unfathomable. An infinite depth, the Source of all that is, the Ancient Progenitor, before all things. It smoothes the rough, unravels the entangled, tempers excessive lights, clarifies the obscure. It is everlasting. I do not know what gave it birth. It is before the Manifested. Looking at It, It eludes the eyes; therefore It is called Invisible. Listening to It, It eludes the ears; therefore It is called Inaudible. Touching It, It eludes the grasp; therefore it is called Intangible. These three cannot be described, but they blend in unity. The mightiest manifestations of Providence flow solely from the Inscrutable, the Impalpable. Eluding sight, eluding touch, yet within it there is Form. Eluding sight, eluding touch, yet within it there is Substance. How profound, and how obscure! Within it is the Vital Essence whereby all things forever endure. These essences of the truth enfold, immutably the same as of old. >From the Old until Now, its name remains unchanged. Through its portals emerges the stream of manifested things. How do I know the origin of things that pass to consummation? ~Lao Tzu "Let's write Zen dialogue tonight, okay? Now go away." "I'm working on a Zen-Taoist's water poem. I can almost see the handwriting beginning to appear." "KYE HO! Wonderful! You may say "existence," but you can't grasp it! You may say "nonexistence" but many things appear! It is beyond the sky of "existence" and "nonexistence" -- I know it but cannot point to it!" LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
