| Bio: |  I mostly use this journal as a place to keep things that inspire me so I can come back to them when I need them... because sometimes I require daily, if not hourly, infusions of inspiration. I post a lot of poetry, art, music, and quotes. A lot of the posts are public, but I also post quite a few locked entries, sometimes about slightly more personal stuff...none of it very interesting I'm afraid.  are for the traveler who at every moment becomes lost in the desert. ~Rumi -Rumi  There is a reality, but you do not know this. When you understand this, you will see that you are nothing. And being nothing, you are everything. That is all. - Kalu Rinpoche Please call me by my true names, so I can wake up and the door of my heart could be left open, the door of compassion. ~Thich Nhat Hanh 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; and where there is sadness, joy. 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, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. ~Saint Francis of Assisi  Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest. I can explain this, but it would break the glass cover on your heart, and there's no fixing that. - Rumi ~Mahatma Gandhi - Martin Luther King Jr.  ~Pina Bausch end up in dead ends you'll be shown the secret paths no one will comprehend. ~Rumi ~Rumi ~Rumi  ~William Blake ~Nisargadatta Maharaj The ocean takes care of each wave till it gets to shore. -Rumi find its way to You? ~Abu-Said Abil-Kheir  ~Raymond Charles Barker will take you further than any thinking. ~Rumi ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence. ~Rumi  - Carl Jung - Albert Einstein All accident of kin and birth, Had pass'd away. There was no trace Of aught on that illumined face Uprais'd beneath the rifted stone But of one spirit all her own;-- She, she herself, and only she, Shone through her body visibly. - S.T.C.   free enneagram test As we become aware of our personality and are less identified with it, it becomes a smaller part of the totality of who we are. The personality still exists, but there is a more active intelligence, a sensitivity, and a Presence underlying it that uses the personality as a vehicle rather than being driven by it. As we identify more with our Essence, we see that we do not lose our identity—we find it. From this broader perspective, we see that identifying with the personality is like believing that we are only our left foot.
