Life is but a journey some are meant to travel alone
while others have people who love them walking two
steps behind to help them on their way.

Card for today ::Inner Voice::
If you have found your truth within yourself there is nothing more in this whole existence to find. Truth is functioning through you. When you open your eyes, it is truth opening his eyes. When you close your eyes, it is truth who is closing its eyes.
This is a tremendous meditation. If you can simply understand the device, you don't have to do anything; whatever you are doing is being done by truth. You are walking, it is truth; you are sleeping, it is truth resting; you are speaking, it is truth speaking; you are silent, it is truth that is silent.
This is one of the most simple meditation techniques. Slowly, slowly everything settles by this simple formula, and then there is no need for the technique. When you are cured, you throw away the meditation, you throw away the medicine. Then you live as truth - alive, radiant, contented, blissful, a song unto yourself. Your whole life becomes a prayer without any words, or better to say a prayerfulness, a grace, a beauty which does not belong to our mundane world, a ray of light coming from the beyond into the darkness of our world.
Osho The Great Zen Master Ta Hui Chapter 23
Commentary:
The Inner Voice speaks not in words but in the wordless language of the heart. It is like an oracle who only speaks the truth. If it had a face, it would be like the face at the center of this card - alert, watchful, and able to accept both the dark and the light, symbolized by the two hands holding the crystal. The crystal itself represents the clarity that comes from transcending all dualities.
The Inner Voice can also be playful, as it dives deep into the emotions and emerges again to soar towards the sky, like two dolphins dancing in the waters of life. It is connected with the cosmos, through the crescent-moon crown, and the earth, as represented by the green leaves on the figure's kimono.
There are times in our lives when too many voices seem to be pulling us this way and that. Our very confusion in such situations is a reminder to seek silence and centering within. Only then are we able to hear our truth.

& I just don't know...
Breathe in..
Breathe out..
Reflect. Reject. Run.
I don't know anymore.. I'm not sure I can handle anything else..

O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these
Often times I wonder what life is really about. Is it just a series of events and random concidences or is there more? Are the people we meet meant to change us and help us along the way or are they just there? Does life mean more then what it appears to be? How does one define the status of which they live? Is it by wealth, happiness or even something else? What does life hold for each person? Will anyone really ever know?
I'm not entirely sure that I know the answers but I do know that there's more to life then random events. Call it fate, perhaps even destiny. Call it what you wish. Just as long as you realize life is important and one must first look inside themself to understand the world around them.

Alone for awhile removed from grave. A figure walks the earth bare in feet bare in soul. She walks struggling to know her soul, a glimmer a glance a perchance. Her wings flutter, some feathers missing some scarred and charred. Once mighty, fallen fast in the fate she lost the courage to speak, she walks with bare feet. When again will this beauty show her grace and return to her place.

-like being killed
Sometimes.. its as if you were my last chance.. my last hope for salvation.. Maybe that isn't the right word but it is the only one that comes to mind presently...
You told me to open up, to not be afraid. You told me to trust you and yet I don't know if I really can. My trust turned to ashes five years ago and it has never really come back... I know you want to help me but I'm afraid.. I'm afraid of letting you down.. I'm afraid that I'm beyond your help.. You say you know how I feel.. That may be true but my emotions and my feelings are my own..
I don't know how to open up.. You see, I am not the person who does so. I am the person people come to in times of need.. I am their rock and their salvation while I silently ride my own storms of pain but perhaps.. Perhaps you can help me..
