What came before me?

What came before me?

Do I know?

Can I know?

The flood of memories

all jumbled up in

future, now, and past.

Where are you and me?

Parents and parents of parents

all rushing from life to life.

A waterfall of

laughter, boredom and tears. 

The Great Work

"The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner."           

~~Thomas Berry, 1999

the work of stability

the most enlightened teachers
experienced great struggles of self

god is the safest constant
if god is ever changing

dear one, see inside yourself
the only constant
is you

Pico Iyer ~ The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere
