Addiction #13 – We are never alone (05/16/12)
“When we are alone on a night of scintillating starlight; when by chance we see the migrating birds in autumn descending on a grove of junipers to rest; when we see children in a moment when they are really children; when we know Love in our own hearts; or when, like the Japanese poet Basho said, we hear an old frog land in a quiet pond with a solitary splash — At such times the awakening, … the “newness” … the emptiness … the purity of vision … the glory of The Divine that makes itself so evident, all of these provide a glistening glimpse of the perfection in the Cosmic Dance of which we are all a part.” ~ inspired by Thomas Merton
Real PEACE is knowing that, even when walking in the deepest of deserts or sitting on the highest of mountaintops … WE ARE NEVER ALONE.
