Prayer of Hearts...

"I have a lovely habit. 

At night in my prayers, I touch everyone I have seen that day. 

I shape my heart like theirs and theirs like mine."

Waiting on God...

"You are responsible for your life. And if you’re sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time, because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

What matters is now, this moment and your willingness to see this moment for what it is. Accept it. Forgive the past. Take responsibility and move forward.

I came to realize that all the time I was praying to God, asking for God to do something, God was waiting on me."

Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing...

"Leave everything undefined, including yourself. 

Befriend uncertainty. Fall in love with mystery. 

Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing. 

Give your questions time to breathe. 

The answers will find you."

Jeff Foster

These words very much hold the essence of one of my favourite quotes from Rainer Maria Rilke, and possibly, that is where the inspiration was born...

But so beautifully written, so beautifully said... Rilke would have felt honoured.

And yes, these words are the words that danced with me today... And yesterday, and possibly tomorrow as well...

"Kneel at the altar of Not Knowing..."

A sacred, and holy ground to stand... Bringing out the powerful virtue of trust and faith and hope.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Be Still...

"Be Still. 

The quieter you become, the more you can hear."

Ram Dass

Some call it prayer. Some call it meditation. Some call it intuition.

But in this moment, I'll simply call it the calm and the strength.

Be still.

Much Loves,

Angela.

What if...

"What if our religion was each other, If our practice was our life and if prayer our words? What if the temple was the Earth, if forests were our church and if holy waters were the rivers, lakes, and oceans? What if meditation was our relationships, the teacher was life and wisdom was knowledge? What if love was the center of our being?"
