For the divine alchemy to work,
The Pitcher needs a still cup.

"The Gift"
Translations by Daniel Ladinsky posted
to Along The Way
Let go of your worries
and be completely clear-hearted,
like the face of a mirror
that contains no images.
- Rumi
Natural Creativity
When we speak about natural creativity
and its expression, we are not
talking about something separate from our own mind and
experience. All
that we call “existent phenomena” is experienced
by mind. This
awareness is primordial and omnipresent—is there ever
a time when we
don’t experience? Experience can be dull, we may be
asleep, we may be
ignorant or distracted, but we are always “awake” in
one way or
another—experiencing our thoughts, our emotions, our state
of mind,
experiencing our dullness, our distractedness or joy. There has
never
been a time when we have been inanimate, like a rock. This
creative
energy never leaves us, whether we turn toward ignorance or
enlightenment; whether our intelligence is obstructed or not;
whether we
operate from the ego or from a bigger state of mind. It remains
in its
own naked state at all times.
- Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, "Free
Expression"
?"True faith is that quality of consciousness that allows us to exist without blinders, without beliefs, without barriers to life of any kind." - Adyashanti posted by Tom Thompson to Facebook

as flowing waters disappear into
the mist
we lose all track of their passage.
every heart is its own Buddha;
to become a saint, do nothing.
enlightenment: the world is a mote of dust,
you can look right through heaven's round mirror
slip past all form, all shape
and sit side by side with nothing, save Tao.
- Shi Shu
