Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

A Path with Heart

In undertaking a spiritual life, what matters is simple:
We must make certain our path is connected with our heart
                                                                Jack Kornfield, A Path with a Heart,  p. 11
_____________________________________________

There are so many paths
The path to success
The path to power
The path to wealth

But if we would find joy
and peace
and hope
and the Sacred

the only path that counts
is the path with heart

on this path the primary question is simply this
“Did I love well?”

if your path has heart
your life will be “flavored with goodness” (Kornfield)

and it will be littered
with “small deeds done in love” (Mother Theresa(

if not
well
it is
just
the
wrong
path
