Notes to Myself - 6

Numbing oneself from something is not really a way of escaping (although it may seem like that from the outside), but is actually a way of getting completely 'into' something else and deeply. Something that moves you, gets you in touch with yourself and makes you feel alive. It feels great to be alive!

A cup full of love, is too full to receive any more.
A cup that is empty of love, always yearns for more.
A cup that is half full, always has enough. It can give and receive love with equanimity.

Love in a Teacup

a cup of tea
sits with me,
taking me to places
where I so love to be -
sleepy clouds
sprawled out at sea,
a glorious sun rising
to smile at me,
gilded waters that form
earth's wedding ring,
birds starting their day
with songs, ready to sing,
thoughts steered home
to this moment in time,
where reverie and reality
quiet in the stillness of mind;
the cup of tea is full,
and yet empty inside,
when there's love in a teacup,
grace fills it up from inside.
