[ red heart ]

 

never lose an opportunity 

of seeing anything that is beautiful;

for beauty is God’s handwriting - 

a wayside sacrament.

welcome it in every fair face, 

in every fair sky, in every fair flower,

& thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

#emerson

see the red heart

made by the leaves?

& the early morning sky -

crescent moon & venus.

{ love is }

love is
not just
an emotion.
it is who
you are,
where you
came from
& where you
return.

i noticed this sidewalk art 

right outside my Mom's place

as i was leaving.

... doves + a heart ...

... today ...

found two dove feathers in my front yard.

i see a pair of doves quite often around the house.

& then noticed this heart shape in the trees

in the back yard.

can you see it?

. treasure .

{ where there is ruin, 

there is hope 

for a treasure. 

#rumi }

where have I allowed things to crumble 

and fall away in my life? 

thus creating space 

for my true desires to enter. 

{ & another heart }

. the universe .

{ the whole universe

is contained within

a single human being

- you.

#rumi }

heart <3

. heart in the sky .

only from the heart 

can you touch the sky.

#rumi

. artist .

you can dress up the artist, but...

the paint gives her away.

going out for his birthday.

& him.  

looking all handsome.

then, on our drive home...

hearts.  

. heart rock .

heart rock &

making a blessing wheel.

a beauty-full day in the garden.

. heart .

a random heart in the parking lot

& matching shoes (-:

. hearts + leaves .

plant the seed of your desires

into your subconscious

by using your 

creative imagination

to see it as manifest

in your life.

. awake heart .

an awake heart

is like a sky

that pours light.

| finally...rain |

my magnolia tree is blooming again

for the second time this year.

& a heart in the petals.

{ be kinder to yourself

& then let your kindness

flood the world.

{ heart }

and now here is my secret, 

a very simple secret: 

it is only with the heart 

that one can see rightly; 

what is essential is invisible to the eye.

while out taking photos of the heavy dew.

37:::100 your heart

“How is your heart doing at this very moment, at this breath?” 

When I ask, “How are you?” that is really what I want to know.

I am not asking how many items are on your to-do list, 

nor asking how many items are in your inbox. 

I want to know how your heart is doing, at this very moment. 

Tell me. Tell me your heart is joyous, 

tell me your heart is aching, 

tell me your heart is sad, 

tell me your heart craves a human touch. 

Examine your own heart, explore your soul, 

and then tell me something about your heart and your soul. 

Tell me you remember you are still a human being, 

not just a human doing. 

Tell me you’re more than just a machine, 

checking off items from your to-do list. 

Have that conversation, 

that glance, that touch. 

Be a healing conversation, 

one filled with grace and presence. 

~ Dr. Omid Safi
