“How often – even before we began – have we declared a task “impossible”? And how often have we construed a picture of ourselves as being inadequate? . . . A great deal depends upon the thought patterns we choose and on the persistence with which we affirm them.”
― Piero Ferrucci
“The mind is brought into harmony with the spirit and includes the body, achieving an organic, harmonious unity of all aspects of the person's being, what we might call 'bio-psychosynthesis'. This is true spiritual alchemy” - Roberto Assagioli
Psychosynthesis night...Love Assagioli and Pierro!

Words For It
I wish I could take language
And fold it like cool, moist rags.
I would lay words on your forehead.
I would wrap words on your wrists.
“There, there,” my words would say–
Or something better.
I would murmur,
“Hush” and “Shh, shhh, it’s all right.”
I would ask them to hold you all night.
I wish I could take language
And daub and soothe and cool
Where fever blisters and burns,
Where fever turns yourself against you.
I wish I could take language
And heal the words that were the wounds
You have no names for. -
Julia Cameron
Words have power.
Words can heal.
Words can create.
May you tap into the magic of the word and lift into the higher realms to truly "see".

"Shyness is the beautiful and vulnerable frontier between what we think is possible and what we think we deserve"-David Whyte
When I was in 6th grade there was a girl who kept trying to kiss me. I was sure that she was just trying to get me to blush, to embarrass me. I found out years later she actually liked me. Talk about me creating my reality from my misperception, my own filters.
May clarity and understanding define your day.

"This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world."--
Shams Tabrizi
"The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead, time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment."--
Shams Tabrizi
Dervish wisdom from the 1200's.
May your echo be filled with joy and abundance and may you go into the divine in the present moment.
Peace be still.

​"When you practice those things that awaken you to Spirit, you are actively involved in creating that point of convergence between the invisible and the physical - and your awareness of it. Perhaps, you feel the Spirit touch to your physical being; you might feel tingling or a rush of energy. Perhaps you leave your body during spiritual exercises or in a dream and you touch the Spirit in that non-physical state. Either way, you are experiencing that point of convergence. Grace resides there. Participating in the convergence is a way to bring grace into your life."
- John-Roger
Don Juan called it the "crack between the worlds". It's the point of alchemy. It's the Essence manifesting into Form.
It's the unknowable into the unknown going into the known.
It's the point of Grace, the point of magic.
May you live there today.

"As a result of our energy commitments, we- our minds, hearts, and lives - become woven into their consequences. Our faith and our power of choice are, in fact, the power of creation itself. We are the vessels through which energy becomes matter in this life.
Therefore, the Spiritual test inherent in all our lives is the challenge to discover what motivates us to make the choices we do, and whether we have faith in our fears or the Divine." - Caroline Myss
Where you place your focus is what you create.
"What you behold, you can become." - William Blake
May you create from a place of peace and loving.

​“This is the kind of Friend
You are -
Without making me realize
My soul's anguished history,
You slip into my house at night,
And while I am sleeping,
You silently carry off
All my suffering and sordid past
In Your beautiful
Hands.”
- Hafez
Peace be still.

"You realize that you have an agreement from long ago to allow and accept that each occurrence has a purpose. As much as you would want something to change to what you like, to be different, you realize the great importance of always beginning with acceptance."
~John Morton
Assume the good. Look for the blessings. Let the situation unfold holding the positive focus.
Accept that you are loved.
