Where is the laughter
The spontaneous laughter
The constant giggle

And the reminders
All the brilliant reminders
Much needed wisdom

You gave us so much
All your gifts keep on giving
Every word and smile

You shine through your love
It’s up to us to feel it
We’re still connected

Once we’re together
Then we’re always together
Love lasts forever

here it is 2010

i am finding it hard to leave 2009 behind,
fearing that i am leaving you there,
as if you will not go with me,
into this next new year,
you might say to me,
"make it up
differently
so you can feel better",
so avinashoney,
time is forever, time is now,
here it is 2010,
happy new year!
happy new decade!
happy new every moment!

aldous huxley said to huston smith

one of the last things aldous huxley said to huston smith was,
"it's a little embarrassing to have spent my whole life
pondering the human situation
and to find myself in the end
with nothing more profound to say
than ... "try to be a little nicer"

a poem by peter, A Thought

Pose any problem to
him

He would reflect it back
untarnished

Finding
meaning in everything

Inflating egos as he found
necessary

Answering unexpressed
koans

Special was
he

poem by Kaveen called Avinash Remembered

Avinash Remembered

I called him Avinash, a name bestowed upon him from a spiritual teacher we shared.

Avinash means indestructible. His full spiritual name was

Anand Avinash, “indestructible bliss.”

He embodied that quality with seeming ease.

I also called him the Ahimsa man for he had a fondness for the remembrance of non-violence.

That was how he lived, non-violent.

From that non-violence a rich kindness and compassion arose.

Not out of… Continue

hi avinashoney

this note is an excuse
to say nothing to you

you have meant nothing to me
for so long now
it's time to give nothing
back to you

and remember
you can
take nothing
with you
when you go ...

i love you so ...

great gratitude
and
undying appreciation
and love ...
forever ...

how could anyone ever tell you ... you are anything less than beautiful

how could anyone ever tell ... you are anything less than beautiful
how could anyone ever tell ... you are less than whole
how can anyone fail to notice ... that your loving is a miracle
how deeply you're connected to my soul

DEATH IS A REALITY OF LIFE, AN ARTICLE By Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D.

here are some thoughts about life and death written by Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D.

As I write this column, it was yesterday that Senator Edward M.

Kennedy was "laid to rest" in Arlington National Cemetery. His death

reminded me of a column I wrote several years ago. I want to update

and reprint it today.

There are over 3 billion people on earth and everyone, without

exception, will be dead within this lifetime. Today alone, over

250,000 have died. We… Continue

to marge from bhasa

hi marge, it took me awhile to discover how to reply to you but here i am. hope you can find me here. thank you for asking me about more info on detachment. just to say, one way i keep up with these concepts regularly is to read the monthly magazine called "shambhala sun". i read it from cover to cover, including every advertisement as well. i get so much from this magazine. every word is a meditation for me. and the articles are so well said. the inspiration for the magazine originally is… Continue

two quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke

avi loved this quote:

"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky."

— Rainer Maria Rilke

and i just read this quote, i'm not exactly sure ... i need avi to explain it to me:

"It seems to me that almost all our sadnesses are moments of… Continue

the Buddha urged his monks to practice like this each morning:

I am of the nature to grow old. 

There is no way to escape growing old.

Instead of repressing it, invite it up, look directly at it.

I am of the nature to grow old, I must accept that.

I am of the nature to have ill-health.  

When I grow old, I will know it!

There is no way to escape having ill-health.

I am of the nature to die.  

There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love  are of the nature to change.… Continue

avi loved this writing by Sosan

Avi loved this writing The Great Way, from Hsin Hsin Ming, the Book of Nothing, by Sosan. Here is just the beginning … for full text go to ... www.deeshan.com/sosan.htm

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what… Continue

message from osho march 14th, 2009

this was in my email unopened

dated march 14th, 2009 ... a message from osho ...

In the Present, HereNow

A man who is aware cannot move in the past, because it is no more.

A man who is aware cannot move in the future, because it is not yet.

A man who is aware lives in the present, herenow.

Here is his only space, and now is his only time.

And because he is only herenow, time as such disappears.

Eternity is born, timelessness is… Continue

"Original Face Book"

Dear ones,

I wanted you to be the first and last to know that I am now and always have

been listed on "Original Face Book".

There is no profile. Who would it be for?

There are no interests or for that matter disinterests.

Who would have them?

There are no invitations.

Who would make or receive them?

In fact as I think of it, Nothing has changed.

It never does!

Then why, you might rightly ask, mention it.

Well because I just… Continue
