Start humble
Stay humble in the middle
Be humble at the top
If you fail, be humble

Thats it.

VULNERABILITY. I love vulnerability It's the tenderness of the heart Showing itself Peering through the mask It might only whisper 'I'm not as strong as I pretend to be.' I see that in people And I love it I thought it was something I had to deny and push away I thought there was something wrong But then I realized it was my gift And I could welcome it And even show it to the world And it changed everything It really is where the light comes in So now I love it in other people.

If in any doubt about the course of action Opt for kindness It works every time It is the most underrated quality Especially by the righteous ego. . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

When the Sun calls you. . When the sun calls you, Dance and laugh with joyous abandon When the moon whispers your name Go quietly inside and cry mournfully If the waves crash upon your shore Let them flood into your heart And when they ebb back into the ocean Walk from the wetness with dignity and humility Deny nothing of your humanity We are vast beings with incredible depth Embrace it even when it hurts. . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

To open so wide you become the space Inside which everything happens To allow the whole of the human experience With its pain and suffering Its joy and desire and searching To hold it all in great tenderness Yet not get lost in it Not derive your identity from it But simply be the open space Inside which the drama happens That is a worthy endeavor. . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

Listen friend Your heart is a resonant chamber The more open and free it is The more beautiful it will sound. . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

To walk through The valley of darkness With awareness Placing one foot Softly after the other In tenderness and resolve Holding fear lightly Allowing the waves of emotion To rise and fall This is the razor’s edge It is called the razor’s edge Because it cuts through duality. #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

Time to Blossom. The human experience Carries the potential for greatness Or terrible tyranny We are latent beings Waiting to be activated There is adventure Written into our code What makes one Rise up against all odds Out of all suffering And become a carrier of light And yet another Lauded with wealth Cosseted with opulence Becomes the harbinger of doom Don’t think this lies somewhere else It is in each of our hearts I was a wreck, tortured by my past Inflicting my pain of everyone And then opportunity for change arrived And I seized it by the forelock Even though it terrified me Truly it doesn’t matter what has happened What matters is how it serves you now Does it cripple you? Does it feed you? Can you use it as food for your transformation? None of this is easy But we must face these hard truths We have but one short life That may be wasted in the past And we will miss this beauty. “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ― Anais Nin . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

Mesmerized by the world Convinced of the illusion Of control and stability He lost something precious Forced to face the truth Of brokenness And in the disarray And in the pain He fell into The deepest acceptance Of the human condition. . #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening

The Wisdom of Emptiness. . Let’s meet when the sun goes down And sit quietly together Forget the world for a while And turn our attention To the silence we are There is a beauty that nourishes the soul When we sit quietly together It’s not found in the busy world In the cafes or the shops It’s not found in any of our doing It is simply this, naked and free, No need to speak Or share knowledge We can let the wisdom of emptiness Say more than all this talking The wise one sits to one side Silently looking at the clouds As they flow through the empty sky He left the market long ago. #poetry #poetsofinstagram #wisdom #wisdomquotes #inspirationalquotes #love #joy #life #spirituality #spiritual #awakening #awake #awareness #silence #stillness #meditation #consciousness #namaste #compassion #creative #namaste #nonduality #evolution #embodiedenlightenment #embodiment #yoga #yogaeverywhere #spiritualawakening
