A quote from the Upanishads on our immortal self

Like two birds of golden plumage, inseparable companions, the individual self and the immortal Self are perched on branches of the selfsame tree. The former tastes of the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree; the latter, tasting of neither, calmly observes.  ―The Upanishads

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Let go, let God” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Dejar ir”)

Let Go, Let God I am lifted in Spirit, guided, and loved. I may become frustrated, exasperated, or impatient when I’m faced with unmet expectations or disappointments.

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Forgive” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria

Forgive I find freedom in forgiveness. Holding on to anger, fear, and resentment is like carrying a bunch of bricks everywhere I go. Each brick adds its own weight, and if I am not willing to release some of the load, the burden can become unbearably heavy. Forgiving not only allows me to lay down…

A quote from Neale Donald Walsch on “living in the now”

Life begins now — right now — not tomorrow or the next day or the next.   Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.   Why put off for one day…

A quote from Rainer Maria Rilke on the “deep innerness of all things”

You are the deep innerness of all things, the last word that can never be spoken. To each of us you reveal yourself differently: to the ship as coastline, to the shore as a ship.     —Rainer Maria Rilke Trans. by Anita Barrows

Spiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Excitement” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Emoción”)

Excitement I am alive with the exuberance of life. A child experiences the world for the first time in so many ways: a snowfall; a puppy’s energetic, wriggly attention; a rainbow; a cookie.
