The Silence Within

2010-09-20T10:47:00.000-07:00

"Become silent. In your silence, all questions will disappear. And the dance will begin, whatever the figure! Because as far as your inner being is concerned, it has no figure; it is just a luminous flame which can dance."

- Osho

(dedicated to the dance that began in silence last Sunday...blessings to all of you that infused the space with your internal song.)

Animal Spirits

Insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, mammals,

all are becoming more active in this warming and

vibrant time of year. They visit us in waking and our dreaming.

Now may we also invite them to visit us in our dance which is,

perhaps,somewhere in between.

From Alan Watts...

We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose.

In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing.

When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition.

If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best.

Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey.

When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point.

And exactly the same thing is true in meditation.

Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.

Poem recited at the opening circle 2/21/2010

"I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing."

— T.S. Eliot

Thanks so much to all of you! We raised $400 at the first dance in February, all of which will go directly to L’Hôpital de la Communauté Haïtienne (www.haitihosp.org). Thanks again for your generosity and your vibrant dancing--it's a powerful combination.

In gratitude,
Amanda, Paul, Zan, and Grace
