If your spirituality doesn’t involve breaking the chains of injustice, I want more for you. The story is liberation.

Truth is expansive enough to hold both absolute reality and relative reality. With grace, we can comfortably inhabit both. Some call this awakening.

Invocation

The day hanging by its feet with a hole
In its voice
And the light running into the sand

Here I am once again with my dry mouth
At the fountain of thistles
Preparing to sing.

The miracle of life is present in the flower, and in the reluctant seed that never blossoms.

I am listening now with all of my senses, as if the whole universe might exist just to teach me more about love.

Earth is my ashram.

Looking up at a blue sky through a canopy of lush green leaves in a forest. Sunlight filters through, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere.

Ok.

Lyra @lyrasatya.bsky.social · 12d

As often as a child views the sunset
My sky you’ve graced as much.
Is it Wisdom,
Or rather
The flight from youth,
That makes one chase them such.

A river flows through a forested area at dusk, with the sun partially obscured by trees and its reflection visible on the water.

A gentle reminder: Make peace with the fact that your long-term plans are now void, and you will yet learn to behold eternity in an hour by and by.

Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,
But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

- Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

A bee is collecting nectar from small purple and yellow flowers, surrounded by green and yellow foliage.

From the cowardice that dare not face new truth,

From the laziness that is contented with half truth,

From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,

Good Lord, deliver us.

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

Beyond birth
Beyond silence
Beyond love
Beyond doubt
Nameless and formless
Unchanging and undying
Unfathomable
Invincible
That!
Thou Art That

A dirt trail winds through a sunlit forest with tall green trees and dense foliage on both sides.

Truth-tellers are not always palatable. There is a preference for candy bars.

Mystics must always be ready to abandon their high contemplation, their mystical silence, in order to give bread to the hungry.
