Rather than being your thoughts and emotions,
try being the awareness behind them.
~Edited line by Eckhart Tolle

Thoughts
When I am all alone
Envy me most,
Then my thoughts flutter round me
In a glimmering host;
Some dressed in silver,
Some dressed in white,
Each like a taper
Blossoming light;
Most of them merry,
Some of them grave,
Each of them lithe
As willows that wave;
Some bearing violets,
Some bearing bay,
One with a burning rose
Hidden away —
When I am all alone
Envy me then,
For I have better friends
Than women and men.
~Sara Teasdale
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. ~Isaiah 55:8 ✝

“I’m a universe full of secrets”. I couldn’t agree more. There is so much to discover within ourselves and for others to unfold…Beautifully said!
