Morning peace arrives with first light.
Love and strength shelter me as I sit
in repose and allow spirit to flow.
Thoughts arise that tremble my heart
and crease the folds of love that feel
tender and bruised. I observe; I
move on. Breathe in, breathe out,
and sit in this moment in time,
this place of resonance, that awakens to all.
“Empathy is the faculty to resonate with the feelings of others. When we meet someone who is joyful, we smile. When we witness someone in pain, we suffer in resonance with his or her suffering.”
-Matthieu Ricard
“As our nation has become more divided, there is a resonance for a message to bring people together.”
-Martin Luther King III
“I say that a myth is a story which has particular energy, mythic resonance. I always say that a myth is a tear in the fabric of reality through which all of this spiritual energy pours.”
-Jay Parini
