Emergence Under Construction

“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others’ faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.”― Rumi

“Everything must break open in order to live. The seed must break open in order for the tree to grow. The egg must break open in order for life to emerge. The Earth must be turned and the cloud must burst. You were never meant to stay in your shell.”― Thomas Lloyd Qualls, Painted Oxen

In the ordinary.
In the daily.
A river runs deep within.
An ocean, ebb and flow, rhythm and raging.
Grounding and transformation.
Sharpen your senses to go within and reach out.
Surface and deep.
One song.
Emergence under construction.

“This is a uni-verse (”one song’). There’s one song playing everywhere and we are all notes in it. There are no “special” or “better” notes. Every note is necessary and contains the whole essence of the music. All the power and substance of the universe is seeking to sing its song through you as magnificently as it has ever been sung before.”― Derek Rydall
