By Joy Schulz of the Work of Byron Katie
rest now
in the Almighty Tabernacle
the bird will wait
outside the door
her wings close to her side,
eyes closing in the sun,
beak bowed to the ground
there is no hurry to flock,
no need to leave the ground
there is electricity
in the stillness
decharging
the
attraction of the poles
magnetic splinters abound,
yet all the same pull
rest
is the feast
rest
is the fullness
without that thought...
without any thought...
there is no effort
beCause you are not the doer,
you are done
it's such a simple, funny thing/realization
when you put down your tools...
you can rest
no one was ever making you do anything,
think anything,
believe anything
when you sit down...
oh my, oh my, oh my...
you.can.rest...
how incredibly (unbelievably) simple
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
