11/7 The Symphony Wins | Easing Electoral Tension
If we could model ourselves on the Earth, we would find ourselves as symphonies of birdsong, flowing water, wind in the trees, falling branches and floating leaves. The teeming polyrhythms of life are all around and inside us. Our world is spread through with sweet sounds, from a baby’s cry to a mother’s joyful cooing to a laughing teen. Natural sounds of natural living nourish us. But when there are false notes flying from the

Shine your amazing light in the Ring of Fire Aloha, Noble Friends! Just look at a map – we’re all connected. And the linguistic and cultural connections among these people, from the ancient Mayan culture to the Hindu and from the Hebrew, Native American, Celtic and Aboriginal societies to the Hawaiian, all came from the same seed. Last Sunday at New Thought Center of Hawaii, we meditated on the visionary beauty of art depicting the

“Wash yourself of yourself. A white flower grows in the quietness. Let your tongue become that flower.” — Rumi ———————————- Namaste, Noble Friend! As I grew up and traveled around the world, I met many people who had hard times in their families and relationships.

I am awake at 4:00 am, drawing words from the rocks and great mountains, the sky, the trees, the ocean, the creatures, and plants. Watching the great sky, I pore through my mind’s encyclopedia of love to express my hope and trust. Earth, Elements and Everyone line up in the E’s, while Mantras, Memories, and Motions cluster in the M’s. Meditating, I’m open to Emptiness and Everything, which is what’s on the line for our

YOGA FOR CREATIVITY Can you use up yoga? No, you can’t use up YOGA. The more you do yoga, the more you have. It’s like CREATIVITY. The more creativity you give to life, the more you receive.
