Parole, parole, parole...

Parole, parole, parole…

Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don’t pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love is mute.

                                             Shams of Tabriz

There is so much talking going on all the time. Words, words, words! They can be sources of you but, alas, very often they are the root of misunderstandings, conflicts and tensions.

We are used to blurting out whatever crosses our mind without further reflection. Often we regret what we said; it might have been unkind or hurtful, we might have tread on someone’s toes.

I try to hold my tongue, sticking to Buddha’s advice: “before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”

The Love of Our Lost Ones

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

Eskimo Proverb

Most of us have lost somebody near and dear. Whether suddenly and unexpectedly, after a longer illness or because of old age, the beloved person passed away. We miss him or her so much…

You might have rituals to remember the ones that passed away, or simply remember them in your everyday lives when you hear a certain tune, touch a certain object or see something that reminds you of them. 

One beautiful way of being in touch with our dead friends is looking at the stars. I love the thought that the stars are openings in heaven through which the love of our lost ones shines down on us! 

When I stand on my balcony at night it fills me with such joy to think that the near and dear ones that left me shine like happy lights in the universe.

On Kindness

Kindness is Love made visible.

@rakfoundation

Many things make the world a better place. As a base they all have a positive approach to other living beings. Love, helpfulness, care, concern… And at the center of them all, there is Kindness. 

Kindness warms hearts, our own and others. Kindness makes all the difference.

Let kindness rule your life.
