Booklet Words

23. Balance
This stack of stones symbolizes a precarious balancing act that seems to lift up as much as it grounds down. Be in the world the way gravity works, without hesitation.  “Doubts never end. If one doubt is removed, another takes its place. Even if all the leaves are clipped off a tree, new ones grow. The tree itself must be uprooted.” -Ramana Maharshi

Tao #23

When the gale blows, it will not last long; when it rains hard, it lasts but a little while.

Reflections:

Create space for being and in this space the universe has room to flow.

Feel yourself open.

Notice your connection to the earth.

Affirmation: I live a spontaneous life.
