from the depths of your heart

Psalm 121 
 
I look deep into my heart,
to the core where wisdom arises.
 
Wisdom comes from the Unnamable
...and unifies heaven and earth.
 
The Unnamable is always with you,
shining from the depths of your heart. 




~ A Book of Psalms
 translated and adapted by Stephen Mitchell

delight in the way things are




.
Blessed are the man and the woman
who have grown beyond their greed
and have put an end to their hatred
and no longer nourish illusions.
But they delight in the way things are
and keep their hearts open, day and night
They are like trees planted near flowing rivers,
which bear fruit when they are ready.
Their leaves will not fall or wither
everything they do will succeed.
.
Psalm 1
