wisdoms from the rose

a small collection of wisdoms

circling around 

at the moment

The only moment that you can live here comfortably

in these absolutely irreconcilable conflicts 

is in this moment when you embrace it all

and you say

"Look, I don't understand a f*cking thing at all - Hallelujah!"

~ Leondard Cohen

Bless you a gazillion times for being and for sharing with us.

This rose is for you, Leondard!

"Come on people now

Smile on your brother (and sister!)

Everybody get together

Try to love on another

Right now"

the chorus from the song "Get Together" by the Youngbloods

i keep hearing it inside

i just listened to the whole song on youtube
wow.
it's worth hearing!
had to post all of the lyrics
it's from 1967

Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at you command

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Right now!

Right now!

Let the beauty 

you love

be

what you 

do.

There are hundreds of ways

to kneel

and kiss 

the ground.

~ Rumi

I know that we must focus on this beauty now. 

This that we Love. 

This Love must be the energy we give to the world.

"Acceptance

of the unacceptable

is the greatest source of 

Grace

in this world."

~ Eckhart Tolle

This is absolute Truth.

Acceptance is the being at peace with what is.

The inner yes.

The aligning with what is.

No mind, no stories, no fight.

And it's so easy.

We can open to this Grace.

In memory of all those 

who died

because of human insanity.

May we learn from this

and choose another way.

The Way of Peace.
