There is a candle in your heart...
There is a candle in your heart,
ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you? You feel the separation from the Beloved. Invite Him to fill you up, embrace the fire. Remind those who tell you otherwise that Love comes to you of its own accord, and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school. - Rumi |

No, Trump, We Can’t Just Get Along by Charles M. Blow, New York Times, Thanksgiving morning, 2016
Donald Trump schlepped across town on Tuesday to meet with the publisher of The New York Times and some editors, columnists and reporters at the paper. As The Times reported, Trump actually seemed to soften some of his positions: He seemed to indicate that he wouldn’t seek to prosecute Hillary Clinton. But he should never have said that he was going to do that in the first place. He seemed to indicate that he wouldn’t encourage the military to use torture. But he should never have said that he would do that in the first place. He said that he would have an “open mind” on climate change. But that should always have been his position. You don’t get a pat on the back for ratcheting down from rabid after exploiting that very radicalism to your advantage. Unrepentant opportunism belies a staggering lack of character and caring that can’t simply be vanquished from memory. You did real harm to this country and many of its citizens, and I will never — never — forget that. As I read the transcript and then listened to the audio, the slime factor was overwhelming. After a campaign of bashing The Times relentlessly, in the face of the actual journalists, he tempered his whining with flattery. At one point he said: “I just appreciate the meeting and I have great respect for The New York Times. Tremendous respect. It’s very special. Always has been very special.” He ended the meeting by saying: “I will say, The Times is, it’s a great, great American jewel. A world jewel. And I hope we can all get along well.” I will say proudly and happily that I was not present at this meeting. The very idea of sitting across the table from a demagogue who preyed on racial, ethnic and religious hostilities and treating him with decorum and social grace fills me with disgust, to the point of overflowing. Let me tell you here where I stand on your “I hope we can all get along” plea: Never. You are an aberration and abomination who is willing to do and say anything — no matter whom it aligns you with and whom it hurts — to satisfy your ambitions. I don’t believe you care much at all about this country or your party or the American people. I believe that the only thing you care about is self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment. Your strongest allegiance is to your own cupidity. I also believe that much of your campaign was an act of psychological projection, as we are now learning that many of the things you slammed Clinton for are things of which you may actually be guilty. You slammed Clinton for destroying emails, then Newsweek reported last month that your companies “destroyed emails in defiance of court orders.” You slammed Clinton and the Clinton Foundation for paid speeches and conflicts of interest, then it turned out that, as BuzzFeed reported, the Trump Foundation received a $150,000 donation in exchange for your giving a 2015 speech made by video to a conference in Ukraine. You slammed Clinton about conflicts of interest while she was secretary of state, and now your possible conflicts of interest are popping up like mushrooms in a marsh. You are a fraud and a charlatan. Yes, you will be president, but you will not get any breaks just because one branch of your forked tongue is silver. I am not easily duped by dopes. I have not only an ethical and professional duty to call out how obscene your very existence is at the top of American government; I have a moral obligation to do so. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, but rather to speak up for truth and honor and inclusion. This isn’t just about you, but also about the moral compass of those who see you for who and what you are, and know the darkness you herald is only held at bay by the lights of truth. It’s not that I don’t believe that people can change and grow. They can. But real growth comes from the accepting of responsibility and repenting of culpability. Expedient reversal isn’t growth; it’s gross. So let me say this on Thanksgiving: I’m thankful to have this platform because as long as there are ink and pixels, you will be the focus of my withering gaze. I’m thankful that I have the endurance and can assume a posture that will never allow what you represent to ever be seen as everyday and ordinary. No, Mr. Trump, we will not all just get along. For as long as a threat to the state is the head of state, all citizens of good faith and national fidelity — and certainly this columnist — have an absolute obligation to meet you and your agenda with resistance at every turn. I know this in my bones, and for that I am thankful. |

“Women need to live from within so they can gain knowledge of self.
When you know who you are & truly love who you are then envy cannot exist. Allow love to combat envy. I see the gift in women. I see the strength in women. I see the love in women. I see earth angels who continue to fly...” ―Bindu |

Love...
On the soft silk of a blossom,
The white dawn of love wrote, O you, always lovely as a flower, I love you, I love you. On the sands of a calm sea. With the pen of kindness and the ink of tenderness, In a… More special and secret language, it wrote again, O you who have turned into a mythical bird and live in a legendry mountain, I love you, I love you. The sand fled suddenly as the breeze appeared, A flower dropped from a branch, The gust made a wailing sound. And a bird began to sing: As long as I exist, everywhere and at all times, No matter where you are, I remain the dust of your lane, Because you know, I love you, I love you. by Ali Asghar Mazhari |

I hope <3
I hope he calls you in the morning
after a night of sleeping in a big, empty bed Just to say good morning Just to hear your voice as it is the only wake up call he needs. I hope he cooks you breakfast Knowing how you like your eggs how you take your coffee how little or how much you wish to speak. I hope he cooks you dinner, too For no reason at all. I hope he holds your hand proudly as you walk through a room of people you don’t know. I hope he builds you up until you are standing on a pedestal of your own creation. I hope he encourages you to make art take risks travel the world be alone— always knowing that you’ll be back home in his warm embrace as long as his heart is open. I hope he wears his heart on his sleeve and is not shy to adorn yours as well. I hope he is the kind of person who, when presented with the ocean, will not shy away from diving in to ride the waves. I hope he is all of himself unafraid to own his stories no matter how dark they may seem. I hope he can see that all of you is in the stars poking through the dark sky of your past. I hope he is not scared by your ability to choose growth your ability to not be held hostage by the person you were yesterday last week last year. I hope his attention span is as long as every word that exits your mouth your heart. I hope that he hears your truth and meets it with gratitude for your vulnerability. I hope he loves you in a way you didn’t know love existed. For you have only seen love in other places with shaky ground that fell beneath your hopeful feet. This is who I hope for you— Because you are worthy of being loved by a heart so bright the sun blushes in admiration... Author: Annabelle Blythe |

Impossible Is Nothing
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men [people] who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible in not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. —Muhammad Ali

Suffering...
“We have tried everything to get rid of suffering.
We have gone everywhere to get rid of suffering. We have bought everything to get rid of it. We have ingested everything to get rid of it. Finally, when one has tried enough, there arises the possibility of spiritual maturity with the willingness to stop the futile attempt to get rid of it and, instead, to actually experience suffering. In that momentous instant, there is the realization of that which is beyond suffering, of that which is untouched by suffering. There is the realization of who one truly is." - Gangaji |

Extraordinary...
“The disciplines of physical exercise, meditation and study aren't terribly esoteric.
The means to attain a capability far beyond that of the so-called ordinary person are within the reach of everyone, if their desire and their will are strong enough. I have studied science, art, religion and a hundred different philosophies. Anyone could do as much. By applying what you learn and ordering your thoughts in an intelligent manner it is possible to accomplish almost anything. Possible for an 'ordinary person.' There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.” - Alan Moore, Watchmen |
