Jay Woodman

Love yourself enough to open your eyes, and open your eyes enough to love yourself.

Who put the S in comic to make cosmic? / The Self, which is the self of all beings - / choosing to disguise from themselves / that everything is just a game. // With a laugh we could turn / from all the seriousness we learned / and connect with every atom to create / breathtaking beauty with graceful ease.

When you realise you are just as ridiculous & just as #special as everyone else, you love them all.

We are alive in all our layers of self and selflessness - individuals becoming one.

You have everything inside you, though you sometimes only recognise certain bits relating to the current stage of your path.

Try to forgive by trying to understand how it would feel to be in the other__ shoes. If someone hurts you _ ask them - __hat hurts you so much that you would do this?_ Listen to the answer and try to understand what is valid for them. They may have been fighting for your attention, but no one thinks of themselves as attackers, only defenders! So don__ judge their ways, only set them free by giving them a chance to speak. You may both learn a lot from your kindness and courage in asking for the truth. But even if nothing changes, release it, remember that you both have a right to be who you choose to be. When we make judgements we're inevitably acting on limited knowledge, so ask if you seek to understand, or simply let them be!

Be confident to make your magic.

... as we travel again between life and death, Waking and dream, blinking, while layers within layers,None better, none worse, unravel and knit up before us . . .

Needing to express what it__ like here.... / Trying to digest the incoming stream .... / And dream it all over again.

Time is a pool to swim & dream & create in.

Smile, ask, listen, provide, thank" then "take time out to have fun & renew yourself" but "always dream up more questions". - Julia Woodman

Life is a bit like a sweet & toy & art & curiosity shop - all in one - only the best bits are free. If you look at all the things you can cherish it helps to balance everything else. Cherish the fabulous, the fantastic, the beautiful, the graceful, the moments of abandon, laughter, quirkiness. Cherish the tiny incredible details, the gigantic & varied display, and the infinite depths - of life.

If you keep wanting to get back in the nest, you're missing the amazing experience of coming out to play at life for a while.

What we think affects our life so much that life is for each of us just what we think it is. So the question of what life means has individual answers for each of us.

Everything is reflected in both - outside (out there) and inside (in here) - marvel at it, experience, learn. The personal is also the universal, and the universal is also the personal.

Let's forgive someone for Valentines day, it's a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto.

Having no need to judge, control, react, so forgiveness does not even arise.

from CHAOS?Trust the imagination. Peace is knowing without need for detailed explanation. Joy is openness to possibility. Sing your humming heart free from the heat of all creation. Swim into cool whirling coloured pools. Sleep on rock of consciousness.
