The dream is planted in my Heart
It grows and flourishes
Nurtured by great Love
Like the passing seasons
My mind gets caught up
In storms and moods
I lose sight of this garden
Become numb to its delight
Pay more attention to wanting:
Wanting to measure its growth
Wanting to taste its fruits
Wanting to increase its treasures
Wanting repeated assurance
That it will always be there
My hands fill up with wanting-
Wanting to possess
My eyes fill with wanting-
Wanting to see everything before believing
My senses fill with wanting-
Wanting only pleasure’s fulfillment
This wanting begins to dig a hole
Of increasing pain and emptiness
My heart cries out for Grace
She appears and pulls me inward again
Humility brings me back to the Garden
Where one immortal message echoes
“Love plants the dream unconditionally…
Never dig up the seeds”

Journal Entry: October 19th,2012
Every time I forget this precious lesson, my mind takes a nose dive towards a dark abyss and all clarity disappears. For years, my mind grapples with the concept of Infinity. If something never ends nor begins, then there is no separation between its parts. Then past and present and future become one. Just when it seems that my mind understands this, the measuring starts again. The Heart relies on Grace to keep it open and trusting. In remarkable moments my mind catches glimpses of a greater unfolding. A feeling guides me back to romance in life without certainties. One by one the opportunities present themselves again for my greatest growth. The imagination expands and the inner soul expressions well up again to rejoice and overflow. Today's entry marks another journey milestone of this celebration.
"That is Infinite. This is Infinite. From that Infinite arises this Infinite. this Infinite is brought forth from that Infinite and that Infinite remains Infinite."
- Isha Unpanishad
