Beyond the wind...

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.  ~Baba Ram Dass

 rock squirrel
charmed by woodland stories
whispered by the wind

Beyond the wind,
listen to the bamboo.
~Shibayama Zenkei

"Beyond the wind" generally refers to the realm beyond the illusory, material world, while listening to the bamboo is a reference to the fact that some species of bamboo grow so quickly that if one listens carefully, you can actually hear them growing.  ~Enso: Zen Circles of Enlightenment by Audrey Yoshiko Seo

Being Love

"Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act." 
~Ram Dass
