Peach trees are blooming,
In a quiet little mountain town...

The sweet fresh fragrance, transforms the Hearts of all who are near...

With each breath, secret universes are born.

Lovers dance their formless dance... amongst the lovely trees,

Celebrating the Spring...

I Love Peaches....

(See you there Beloved...)

Enlightenment is the restoration of Cosmic humor.

~Adyashanti


(and the limitless expression of LOVE...)

****

Look within,

Approach all with Devotion,

Stay as Heart...

~Papaji

( Photos Compliments of Dan... )

Love is undefinable... and knows no boundaries...

(Happy Hug Day... Beloved... :)

You're song,

a wished-for song...

Go through the ear to the center

where sky is, where wind,

where silent knowing...

Put seeds and cover them;
Blades will sprout

where you do your work...

~Rumi

Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days worth of rice in my bag;

a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.

Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,

I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

~Ryokan (1758-1831)

The Transparent Tree...

I've traded my soul for the Universe.
Don't speak.
The jeweler who thought he was buying gold
to work with now owns the mine!
But commerce metaphors are wrong.

What has happened in me is more profound.
Like a fish underwater beginning to say words!

A transparent tree grows in the night-sky
orchard where I have found a little corner to be in,
as when two planets intersect.
I have met Shams.

~Rumi

(as when two planets intersect... my Beloved and I...

ahhhhhhhh! :)

Come, come, whoever you are...
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving,

It doesn't matter..
Ours is not a cavarn of despair...

Come, come, even if you have broken
Your vows a thousand times.
Come, come yet again, come...

~Rumi

(less than 24 hours Beloved...!)

****

And above all, infinite affection,
Love...
dark and quiet,
radiating in all directions...
embracing all,
making all interesting and beautiful,
significant and auspicious.

~ Nisargadatta

You ask me why I make my home in the mountain forest,

and I smile, and am silent,

and even my soul remains quiet:

it lives in the other world

which no one owns.

The peach trees blossom,

the water flows.

Li Po (701-762)
