FALL RISES UP NORTH

Written by Megan Marie McDonald

Open your eyelids
and welcome the dim, clouded sunrise.
Breathe deep the crisp morning air
as it seeps in the old, cracked windowpane
I left open all night.
Squint your eyes
and watch the sheer purple curtain
glow slightly
and blow lightly
against the low bookshelves.
Awaken your nose
to the aroma of the heater
in its ceremonial burning of the dust
that has accrued all summer long.
Open your ears
and listen to the raindrops
as they patter

Greetings to the Wonderful Blessed Students of Shakti's Elements,
I wanted to share some thoughts with you for the opening months of 2007, as we have recently passed through the Winter Solstice -- that point where the Northern Hemisphere is leaning farthest away from the sun than any other time of the year.

Solstice means...
standing-still-sun

What occurs when we stand still?

"It is not what you have that is your greatness, but what you have to give"

-Yogi Bhajan

Words of Wisdom


"Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky, how
beautiful it is? All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness there is a poem, there is a song. Every leaf is gone and it is waiting
for the spring. When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with the music of many leaves, which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life."

Krishnamurti

Words of Wisdom


There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.

Greetings to Shaktis' Wonderful Students:

There are a few questions I would like to propose to you this month.

How often does it happen? Can you remember when it first occurred? What was your immediate reaction? Did you think about it for a long time afterwards? How long did it last? And of course, who did it?

Hmmmmmm? To what am I referring?

Your Anger.......... . Ahhhhh!

"What we speak becomes the house we live in"
-Hafiz

Words of Wisdom


Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; It is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.

So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians 13:1-13

Words of Wisdom


"How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all its beauty? It felt the encouragement of light against it's being, otherwise we all remain too frightened."

-Hafiz
