Flower of the Day: 07/28/14
"We
waste a great part of our journey looking for someone to blame for our
unhappiness, and believing that we are not good or worthy enough to be
happy. This addiction to accusing others is so deeply rooted and can be
so subtle that, when you least expect it, you find yourself accusing the
other and believing that you are a helpless victim. But when you can
transform this victim within you and free yourself from the lenses that
distort your perception, you experience a major change in perspective:
you stop seeing the glass half empty and start seeing it as half full."
Sri Prem Baba

Heart of Mine | July 28, 2014
Men ask the way to Cold Mountain
Cold Mountain: there’s no through trail.
In summer, ice doesn’t melt
The rising sun blurs in swirling fog.
How did I make it?
My heart’s not the same as yours.
If your heart was like mine
You’d get it and be right here.
