PIGEON

The Pigeon is the totem of goals, focus and perseverance. This unassuming bird holds the qualities of home, security and maternal instincts. The Pigeons gift to us is the ability to accomplish through our attunement with the nature. If a Pigeon has come to you, it's message is to set clear goals and to keep your sights and sensitivities focused on where you want to be. Do not be concerned with HOW you will get there, only how it will look or be when you arrive.

"Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods."

— Japanese Proverb

A Zen master used to say, "It is clear and so it is hard to see. A dunce once searched for a fire with a lighted lantern. Had he known what fire was, he could have cooked his rice much sooner."-Osho

A man who lives through conscience becomes hard. A man who lives through consciousness remains soft. Why?--because a man who has some ideas about how to live, naturally becomes hard. He has continuously to carry his character around himself. That character is like an armor; his protection, his security; his whole life is invested in that character. And he always reacts to situations through the character, not directly. If you ask him a question, his answer is ready-made. That is the sign of a hard person--he is dull, stupid, mechanical. He may be a good computer, but he is not a man. You do something and he reacts in a well- established way. His reaction is predictable; he is a robot. The real man acts spontaneously. If you ask him a question, your question gets a response, not a reaction. He opens his heart to your question, exposes himself to your question, responds to it....-Osho

"You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always think of you." -j.m. barrie (peter pan)

"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings." -j.m. barrie (peter pan)

"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don’t grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."

— Alan Watts

"Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free."

the universe plays my sense
as though it were a cosmic melody
in a symphony of light

"We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones."

Rumi

"Writing is fifty years behind painting. I propose to apply the painters' techniques to writing; things as simple as immediate as collage or montage."-Brion Gysin

"Your spirit joined itself with flesh, and in flesh, to experience a world of incredible richness, to help create a dimension of reality of colors and of form. Your spirit was born in flesh to enrich a marvelous area of sense awareness, to feel energy made into corporeal form. You are here to use, enjoy, and express yourself through the body. You are here to aid in the great expansion of consciousness, You are not here to cry about the miseries of the human condition, but to change them when you find them not to your liking through the joy, strength and vitality that is within you; to create the spirit as faithfully and beautifully as you can in flesh."

— Seth

(Alexandro Garcia)

"When the thunder roars, do you not hear your Self? When the lightening cracks, do you not see your Self? When clouds float quietly across the sky, is this not your very own limitless Being, waving back at you?"

if this interests you, find me.

If we go out into the woods and we look at all the trees, we don’t say, “I wish that oak tree were an elm.” Somehow, we can allow trees to be what they are; we can grant that each tree is perfect just the way it is. But when it comes to people, if everybody isn’t the way we think they ought to be, all hell breaks loose!

Everybody is always doing the best they can, it’s all perfect. There are all these strands of the universe, weaving back and forth, interacting with one another. In each individual manifestation, those strands have woven themselves together in a unique way so as to produce yet another perfect statement of the unstable.

So, someone comes to you, she’s hung up, uptight, and angry. You see the perfection in that. You say, “Far out! There’s God as an angry person. You weird manifestation of God, you.” Give each incarnation the space to manifest exactly as it needs to manifest.

"If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. It’s your restlessness that causes chaos."

— Nisargadatta Maharaj

"If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

"There was a wall in a village that existed for ages, and many tried to climb it but few succeeded. Those who had climbed it saw something beyond, smiled, climbed over the wall and never returned. The people of the town began to wonder what magic could be there and what attraction, that whoever climbed over the wall never returned. So they said, “We must send someone who can reach the top, but we must tie him with a rope to hold him back.” When the man they had sent reached the top of the wall, he smiled and tried to jump over it, but they pulled him back. When the people asked, “What did you see there?” he could not answer, he could only smile."

— Hazrat Inayat Khan

"The person who makes all cares into one care
the care for simply staying present
will be cared for by that presence
which is creative love."

Why do you take by force that which you could obtain by love?

You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.
