“Whatever circles comes from the center.” — Rumi

"We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness." — Thich Nhat Hanh

Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. The new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, and open.

“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” — Mary Oliver

"We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the these things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye." — Pablo Neruda

“Above all do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday I walk myself into a state of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. Thus if one keeps on walking everything will be all right.” — Søren Kierkegaard

“From which stars have we fallen to meet each other here?” — Friedrich Nietzsche

“I thought I would be understood without words.” — Vincent Van Gogh

Lose yourself, to the clouded skies.

“Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.” -Rumi

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.

MY ARTWORK

Love moves everything.

“Thinking about this this morning; when focused on any particular goal, it’s imperative that, psychologically, we give it equal prominence with any PERCEIVED obstacles. Otherwise, it’s as if we see the apple on the tree, but first build a barrier around the tree, that we must then deconstruct to reach our desire. Our desire must be equally as probable as any objections we hold surrounding it.” -Jane Roberts

“If you find that you are berating yourself because of something you did yesterday, or ten years ago, you are not being virtuous. You are most likely involved with artificial guilt. Even if a violation occurred, natural guilt does not involve penance. It is meant as a precautionary measure, a reminder before an event.” -Jane Roberts

Question reality, especially if it contradicts the evidence of your hopes and dreams. ~Robert Brault

Time is like the wind, it lifts the light and leaves the heavy. ~Doménico Cieri Estrada

The only way that you can ever know if something is of value to you is by the way it feels as you are receiving it.

There is not something you’re supposed to do. There’s not something that you should do. There IS ONLY that WHICH You ARE INSPIRED to DO.

"If you don’t take the time to line up the Energy, if you don’t find the feeling place of what you’re looking for, not enough action in the world will make any difference.”

“Every adversary, every failure, every heart ache carries with it the seed of equal or greater benefit” — Napolean Hill

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.” — Napoleon Hill

“Strange though this may sound, not knowing where one is going – being lost, being a loser – reveals the greatest possible faith and optimism, as against collective security and collective significance. To believe, one must have lost God; to paint, one must have lost art.” — Gerhard Richter

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.

“You must become aware of your own structures. Build them up or tear them down, but do not allow yourself to become blind to the furniture of your own mind.” — Jane Roberts

“With dreams the same is true. No one really knows their meaning but yourself. If you read books in which you are told that a certain object always represents such and such, then you are like the artist who accepts the critic’s idea of the symbols in his own work. You will feel alienated from your dreams since you are trying to make them follow a pattern that is not yours.” — Jane Roberts

“Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.” ― Voltaire

“Thought is Cause; experience is Effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.” — Marianne Williamson

“Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.” — Robin S. Sharma

“Deep breathing is a big part of your Well-being, because with that deep breath, there is activation on a cellular level. In other words, it is the current that carries the vitality to the extremities of the cells. And so, the more you are breathing, the more you are thriving.” — Abraham Hicks

Quiet as a robber
you walk with me
we can stay here
hidden with the stars
create a diary of dreams
become soft like water
drifting free in the sea of things
these words in my mouth sing
all of this recognizes us
i stand in my desire
i join the mood
the night's influence allows me to inherit you again

B.D.W.

"The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood." — Voltaire

Words. I love words. Thinking about words makes my head spin, my heart thud. I love the way they can be broken, reformed, meaningful, empty. Words make life, words sculpt, they build, they create beauty, they destroy, sting, cut, and wield the greatest power. Words are why I live, they are why I love, they are in me and out of me, words are me. Some of my favorite words:ubiquitous, lithe, stealth, write, etc...

I write until I forget I am writing.

“I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.” ― Gustave Flaubert

“The greatest gift that you could ever give to another is your own happiness, for when you are in a state of joy, happiness, or appreciation, you are fully connected to the Stream of pure, positive Source Energy that is truly who you are. And when you are in that state of connection, anything or anyone that you are holding as your object of attention benefits from your attention.” — Esther Hicks

Self worth is so vital to your happiness. If you don’t feel good about you, it’s hard to feel good about anything else.

True love never dies..It only gets stronger with time.

It all comes down to the last person you think of at night. They have your heart.

“A dream that is alive is life.” — Abraham Hicks

“If you are living out of your inauthentic self, you are going to attract someone who mirrors that.” — The Everlasting Road by Jeremy Scott Lambert

“By letting go of the hows, not only do you free up the Universe to figure out things for you…but you also free yourself from all the fears, worries, and stress that go along with trying to manipulate time and space.” — Mike Dooley

“You get there by realizing you are already there.”

"No one is you. That is your power." -Dave Grohl

When two violins are placed in the same room, if a chord on one violin is struck, the other violin will sound the note.

“There’s an old tale that says soulmates’ minds are connected from birth. When you can’t sleep, your soulmate can’t sleep either. So the next time you’re laying awake, know that somewhere, someone else is laying awake too.”
