Opening the heart, clearing the mind:
the experience of sacred emptiness.

May the blessing of light be on you,
light outside, light inside.
May the blessed sunlight shine upon you
and warm your heart till it glows
like a great fire, so that the stranger
may be warmed at it, as well as the friend.
And may the light shine upon your eyes
like a candle set in the window,
bidding the wanderer in out of the storm.

This is the greatest skill of all, to take the bitter with the sweet and make it beautiful, to take the whole of life in all its moods, its strengths and weaknesses, and of the whole make one great and celestial harmony.

Nature brings beauty to every time and season.

An ancient river of inner wisdom flows like limitless living water in deep recesses of our being; this activating wisdom wells up in every age to inspire all who have open minds and are able to hear and receive Sophia's sacred energy of new life, light, and purpose.

Compassion is not helpless pity, but an awareness and determination that demand action.

Live with attention,
cultivate compassion,
establish justice.
Then you will realize the purpose for which
you were created.
 

Divine compassion is ever present within our limited compassion.
