Space to be - Peter

[Guest guest]

Hello dear Peter,

 

I was drawn to reread your post and realize how important it is with

regard to understanding each other and responding here in the group. I

was also drawn to one of the quotes from the Charka postings during

Shaktpat:

 

" We don't see things as they are. We see things

as we are. " Anais Nin

 

More and more I'm understanding the space that is needed when hearing

each other, and keeping an eye out for the filter that we hear things

through. That's really buzzing around in my heart right now.

 

Thank you for these words. I will tape to my screen. I really love

what you share.

 

Love, dhyana

Dear Dhyana,

 

Thank you for your kind words. I think though that Anais Nin was the

star of the post, so to inspire you more, here are some other quotes

from her...

 

Peter

 

 

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by

the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task

of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.

 

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects

you from age.

 

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful

than the risk it took to blossom.

 

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until

they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

 

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by

giving, by losing.

 

If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no

wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the

fate of every human being who has come my way.

 

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go

through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain

in it. This is a kind of death.

 

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

 

Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they

must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven

together.
