"The universe is friendly"

"You are not alone"

"Life is but a day's work; do it well."

A quote by George Orwell: "Telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Love first, then Instruct.

Susan Murrey suggested: "Mr. Rodgers never prepared me for the people in MY neighborhood!" 
(just kidding, sort of...;-)

It is the strength of your faith which determines the capacity to embrace that which you seek. (Rogers: Machiventa)

Another Stillness Gift of Poetry

Hope springs eternal... (Alexander Pope said in 175o) like the glorious, fresh, abundance that flourishes in late spring.

Now is the time to hold fast to HOPE, all YE WHO ENTER HERE! Watch the glorious potentials triumph!

Hope is a confidence of success. It is the CONTENT not the FORM that matters. It is WHAT you can bring to the world.

Do not leave the world in darkness. Do not bury yourself in words. Bring the LOVE GRAVITY of the STILLNESS into the chaos, not jumping into the fray, for that will eat you alive. Leave that to us.

As Scott said last week: It's only hopeless if we don't have hope.

Benevolence and Wisdom shimmer thinly, like whispers over glass. Be Still. Attune yourself to the subtle frequencies to feel the Invisible Ever-Friends serving beside us. Mercy is the watchword of this planet. And patience.

I stand open, bared like the high plateau in high summer. Long since, I walked myself down into the Valley of Death, studied the stratigraphy of secrets, delved deep to the bottom of the cool clear water, imbibed, revived, survived. I know what I know.  

Thank God for nothing, for the vacuums, for the black holes.

Thank God for the vast void that holds it all,

The stars, the bliss of emptiness

into which mystery and wonder is born.

And Thank God for the deep healing of the Silences, inner and outer.

Thank God for Nothing, which is a bit of Something in everything

into which the betweening of all things emerges.

Delores
