Poem: In The Stillness

Solo Swan on the River ~ c. Pamela J. Leavey 2013
Solo Swan on the River ~ c. Pamela J. Leavey 2013

In the stillness
I hear the beating
of the mother’s heart,
in the stillness
I know the pain
of her longing.
I watch, I wait
for her children
to appear,
I know her longing
for it is my own.
I cry out to the Mother
where, oh where could I go,
for I have wandered lonely
in the light of the sun.
She tells me in whisper
Daughter I do not know,
your path is written in the stars
though on the river you do flow.
Sit peacefully in the still
the answers you will know.

Food For Thought: Happiness and Self-Knowledge

lowellsboatsFood For Thought today from J. Krishnamurti’s The Book of Life:

“To find out the true meaning of happiness, we must explore the river of self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is not an end in itself. Is there a source to a stream? Every drop of water from the beginning to the end makes a river. To imagine that we will find happiness at the source is to be mistaken. It is to be found where you are on the river of self-knowledge.”
