at this point

"Look carefully around you and recognize 

the luminosity of souls. 

Sit beside those who draw you to that." 

- Rumi

"I came with many knots in my heart, 

like the magician's rope. 

You undid them all at once. 

I see now the splendor of the student 

and that of the teacher's art. 

Love and this body sit inside your presence, 

one demolished, the other drunk. 

- Rumi

"Here one does not use logic to conquer chaos. Rather, one 

uses logic because the logic itself is beauty, is truth. Plato 

offers the amazing idea that contemplation of the way things 

really are is, in itself, a purifying process that can bring 

human beings into the only divinity there is. " 

- Jennifer Michael Hecht

"When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch 

everything. The same is true of time. When you touch one 

moment with deep awareness, you touch all moments." 

- Thich Nhat Hanh

"...bless the past, and forget it, if it keeps him in bondage... " 

- Florence Scovel Shinn

"Each moment, whatsoever you are doing, do it totally. Simple 

things - taking a bath; take it totally, forget the whole world; 

sitting, sit; walking, walk, above all don't wobble; sit under 

the shower and let the whole existence fall on you. Be merged 

with those beautiful drops of water falling on you. Small things: 

cleaning house, preparing food, washing clothes, going for a morning 

walk - do them totally, then there is no need for any meditation " 

- Osho 

"Eternity creates itself at this point." 

"Seeking nothing, emulating nothing, breathing gently, he moved in an 

atmosphere of imperishable calm, imperishable light, inviolable peace." 

 - Hermann Hesse

Divide Light if you dare

-

let us gather in a flourishing way

contentos  llenos de fuerza to vida 

giving nacimientos to fragrant rios  

dulces frescos verdes turquoise strong

carne de nuestros hijos rainbows 

let us gather in a flourishing way

en la luz y en la carne of our heart to toil

tranquilos in fields of blossoms 

cielo de calor and wusdom to meet us

where we toil siempre

in the garden of our struggle and joy

let us offer our hearts a saludar our águila rising

freedom

a celebrar

- Juan Felipe Herrera -

"If you light a lamp for someone else, 
it will also brighten your own path.”










“Ours is the responsibility to keep our 
lights bright for others to see and follow.”
