“When a man sees God in all beings and all beings in God, and also God dwelling in his own Soul, how can he hate any living thing?”

“The Upanishads” Translated by Swami Paramananda (via dailyvedanta)

[spiritualevolution1111]

Around us, life bursts forth with miracles—a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere.

Thich Nhat Hanh (via spiritualevolution1111)

Other people teach us who we are. Their attitudes to us are the mirror in which we learn to see ourselves, but the mirror is distorted. We are, perhaps, rather dimly aware of the immense power of our social enviornment.

I think people who vibrate at the same frequency, vibrate toward each other. They call it - in science - sympathetic vibrations.

Daily Drawing Meditation #54: 30 for 30 Poem #10: 3:17

3:17 I can't sleep Its been days now Maybe weeks Maybe more That My sleeping patterns have been Off I lay in all angles of the bed To find only more restlessness Tossing and turning me -I wish to exhaustion- But no Still awake Still eyes wide open And I lay On my back On my stomach On my side And the other side My shoulder is in pain Nope... Can't sleep that way Blankets wrapped around me, Pillows over my head, Between my legs, At my feet, It's a little hot Let my feet out from under the covers I pray for sleep Staring up at the ceiling out the light of my window and the shapes of shadows All around me Those are my books And that is the radiator And the closet and My yoga mat... I need to work out When I wake up tomorrow I'll do it. I can't sleep I look at the ceiling Counting spackle My mind wanders Seeing shapes form above me I think on middle school And counting plastic glow in the dark stars until they faded It's so dark Why is darkness so scary? I'm not scared of the dark But thinking about being scared Makes me scared It's so dark Lights on Now I really can't sleep Lights off TV Netflix Hulu Nothing good Read a book What time is it? 3:17am In Cali someone might still be Up I'll call No answer Deep sigh Leave a message "Hey, I can't sleep Call me if you get this." Scrolling through walls and feeds Selfie Post #icantsleep Have some Water Milk Maybe tea to ease me to sleep Lay down Sit up Lay down Sit up The quiet The silence Lay down sink back down In tears I just can't sleep
