Work, Outward and Inward

holyfoolishness — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 15:38:50 +0000

“The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth. The inward work always includes in itself all size, all breadth and all length.”

Meister Eckhart

The Blooming of the Lotus

Thich Nhat Hanh

Smiling to my body I breathe in
Releasing the tensions in my body I breathe out.
Breathing in I go back
To the island within myself
There are beautiful trees
Within the island
There are clear streams of water
There are birds
Sunshine, and fresh air
Breathing out I feel safe
I enjoy going back to my island

The chief thing that separates us from God is the thought that we are separated from God.
