A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re feeling small
Alone, in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don’t let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
A dream is a wish your heart makes
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don’t let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Above is a real photo taken Saturday at Walden Pond in Concord Massachusetts. Look how the clouds reflect off the pond surface. The perfection and natural order of nature can be breath taking.

“Nature never rushes, but accomplishes everything.”
Lau Tzu said that and he was right.

Sometimes our judging mind can trick us into thinking that things in our life are not moving fast enough. Asking any part of the natural order of life to move in a way that serves us quicker is like asking a tomato seed to “hurry up and sprout that tomato now!”

Whether it’s a tomato or any part of our life we are waiting for we most definitely want it to arrive in it’s natural timeline.

Patience is the miracle of life, like nature.

The more patient we are…the faster things move.

Love,
John

I choose to have faith & trust that there’s a plan for my life bigger than what my eyes can see.
No matter how many times I fail, I get up and continue to follow my dreams.

Happiness is not about the absence of pain; rather, it’s about the realization of purpose in life.

Thomas Edison’s own words.
“I haven’t failed; I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work.”
Each time I seem to fail, I discover another option that can be eliminated.

I am turning failure into opportunity!

I am turning failure into an opportunity for growth by learning from my experiences and proceeding in my journey.
By moving forward instead of giving up, I give myself the gift of a new opportunity to fulfill my purpose in life.

From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,
the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.

Sealed in trust, faith and truth.
(I confirm with my entire being)

Escute isso logo cedo ou quando não se sentir bem. Listen to this in the morning or when you’re not feeling good.

*PAI NOSSO EM ARAMAICO*( português)

Pai-Mãe, respiração da Vida,

Fonte do som, Ação sem palavras, Criador do Cosmos !

Faça sua Luz brilhar dentro de nós, entre nós e fora de nós

para que possamos torná-la útil.

Ajude-nos a seguir nosso caminho

Respirando apenas o sentimento que emana do Senhor.

Nosso EU, no mesmo passo, possa estar com o Seu,

para que caminhemos como Reis e Rainhas

com todas as outras criaturas.

Que o Seu e o nosso desejo, sejam um só,

em toda a Luz, assim como em todas as formas,

em toda existência individual, assim como em todas as comunidades.

Faça-nos sentir a alma da Terra dentro de nós,

pois, assim, sentiremos a Sabedoria que existe em tudo.

Não permita que a superficialidade e a aparência das coisas do mundo nos iluda,

E nos liberte de tudo aquilo que

impede nosso crescimento.

Não nos deixe ser tomados pelo esquecimento

de que o Senhor é o Poder e a Glória do mundo,

a Canção que se renova de tempos em tempos

e que a tudo embeleza.

Possa o Seu amor ser o solo onde crescem nossas ações.

Que assim seja !!!

Good morning!

Eu tenho uma revelação a fazer:

“Talvez você nunca tenha amado”

Texto revista
http://www.contioutra.com

E se eu disser que a maioria das pessoas sofre por amor simplesmente porque não ama.
Há uma grande e fundamental diferença entre o amor e o apego e creio que no mundo ainda sejam raras as pessoas que são realmente capazes de amar.

Abaixo, a monja Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo* fala um pouco sobre o assunto que, em suas palavras, deixam o obvio tão claro e simples de entender.
Ouçam com o coração e reflitam se o que, até hoje vocês chamaram de amor, realmente correspondia a esse sentimento.

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo nasceu na Inglaterra e foi para a Índia com 20 anos, virou aluna de Khamtrul Rinpoche, viveu 12 anos em retiro numa caverna no Himalaia, tornou-se a segunda mulher ocidental ordenada no budismo tibetano (escola Drukpa Kagyu) e fundou um monastério de monjas, onde é a responsável hoje em dia, além de oferecer palestras e retiros pelo mundo todo.

Com uma linguagem simples e um foco na vida cotidiana, sem discursos eruditos, ela é uma grande professora, recomendada por Sua Santidade o Dalai Lama e Alan Wallace.

Saint Francis of Assisi italian: San Francesco d’Assisi; born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco (“the Frenchman”) by his father; 1181/1182 – October 3, 1226).

IMG_9613.JPG
Francis of Assisi, was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher.

He founded the men’s Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor, or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares.

Though he was never ordained to the Catholic priesthood, Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.

At the end of this period (on February 24, 1209, according to Jordan of Giano), Francis heard a sermon that changed his life forever.

The sermon was about Matthew 10:9, in which Christ tells his followers they should go forth and proclaim that the Kingdom of Heaven was upon them, that they should take no money with them, nor even a walking stick or shoes for the road.

Francis was inspired to devote himself to a life of poverty.

Determined to bring the Gospel to all God’s creatures, Francis sought on several occasions to take his message out of Italy. In the late spring of 1212, he set out for Jerusalem, but he was shipwrecked by a storm on the Dalmatian coast, forcing him to return to Italy.

On May 8, 1213, he was given the use of the mountain of La Verna (Alverna) as a gift from Count Orlando di Chiusi, who described it as “eminently suitable for whoever wishes to do penance in a place remote from mankind.

Saint Francis is considered the first Italian poet by literary critics.

He believed commoners should be able to pray to God in their own language, and he wrote often in the dialect of Umbria instead of Latin. His writings are considered to have great literary and religious value.

Saint Francis Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

Portuguese
Oração de São Francisco de Assis
Senhor, fazei-me instrumento de vossa paz.
Onde houver ódio, que eu leve o amor;
Onde houver ofensa, que eu leve o perdão;
Onde houver discórdia, que eu leve a união;
Onde houver dúvida, que eu leve a fé;
Onde houver erro, que eu leve a verdade;
Onde houver desespero, que eu leve a esperança;
Onde houver tristeza, que eu leve a alegria;
Onde houver trevas, que eu leve a luz.

Ó Mestre, Fazei que eu procure mais
Consolar, que ser consolado;
compreender, que ser compreendido;
amar, que ser amado.
Pois é dando que se recebe,
é perdoando que se é perdoado,
e é morrendo que se vive para a vida eterna.

– São Francisco de Assis
