A Small Green Island by Rumi

There is a small green island where one white cow lives alone,

a meadow of an island.

The cow grazes until nightfall, full and fat, but during the night she panics and grows thin as a single hair.

“What will I eat tomorrow?

There’s nothing left!”

By dawn the grass has grown up again, waist-high.

The cow starts eating and by dark the meadow is clipped short.

She is full of strength and energy, but she panics in the dark as before

and grows abnormally thin overnight.

The cow does this over and over and this is all she does.

She never thinks,

“This meadow has never failed to grow back.

What should I be afraid every night that it won’t?”

The cow is the bodily soul.

The island field is this world where that grows lean with fear

and fat with blessing, lean and fat.

White cow, don’t make yourself miserable with what is to come or not to come.

by Rumi

“Say I am You” Maypop, 1994

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life and I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others,to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can…..His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

I’m here for you!

When I ask you to listen to me and you start giving advice, you have not done what I asked. When I ask you to listen listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen to me and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me, strange as that may seem. Listen! all I asked was that you listen, not talk or do—Just hear me and know that I can do it for myself. I’m not helpless. Maybe discouraged and faltering, but not helpless. When you do something for me that I can and need to do for myself, you contribute to my fear and inadequescy. But when you accept as a simple fact that I do feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I can quit trying to convice you and can get about the business of understanding what’s behind this irrational feeling. And when thats clear, the answers are obvious and I dont need advice. irrational feeling make sence when we understand whats behind them. Perhaps thats why prayer works, sometimes, for some people—because God is mute and he/she doesn’t give advice or try to fix things. “They” just listen and let you work it out for yourself. So Please listen and just hear me. And if you want to talk, wait a minute for your turn, and I’ll listen to you.

If you want someone to just listen and hold space for you to find your way, I’m here for you!

An intention is:

An intention is: A decision conscious or unconscious to produce and or experience and effect. If you wish, hope, like, want or will something to happen this is not a clear intention. A true intention has no attachment, deficit wording or energy that can backfire when the intensity becomes a power struggle with an attachment. You will not have results from an intention that is stated as to “not have” intentions are moments of conscious creation with a formula where imagination + intensity = reality.
It is my intention that; my prosperity prospers others; I know the state of satisfaction in my life. I have learned another way; with ease and grace I open a path to my new awareness, growth, love, abundance and peace. I’m integrated and grounded in my needs and feelings, open to shared shelf expression with others on an authentic life path. My brain has opened pathways and new circuitries are extending outside the boundaries of my understanding. I have developed and express my authentic needs. I’m the source of my love and unlock and release stored memories or core belief and transform them now and so it is.
