Flying on an airplane, reading a good book, being in nature’s company, studying world spirituality, praying to God, being with my friends, running, and seeing the beauty and mystery all around me all make my heart sing.
Of course I understand and respect those who find it hard to think about singing hearts today, especially if they lost a loved one. Just thinking about where I was on that terrible day makes my heart ache. Our whole nation mourns – again. But this is a lovely question and I will answer it with what came to mind immediately: happy animals! No one experiences joy more purely. Also – if I am honest – when someone tells me that my poems or essays moved/helped/delighted them. Yes, that d...

Love makes my heart sing!
To tie this into yesterday’s question about mindfulness i have to say that mindfulness helps to come back home to love which is what makes my heart sing.
Hellen Keller is right in saying we can look for love at every moment because it’s there all around us. Let’s just remember to be awake for it.
Any effort which attempts to Awaken Humankind to their True potential as Gods. As it is stated in [Psalm 82:6] "You are gods. all all of you are sons of the Most High."
It is about time humanity starts to understand those words.
Any genuine effort, it may be as simple as holding open a physical door for another person or more ambitious ...such as offering programs with the intention of open "Other" doorway and clearing "fixed mind" ideas which block the Light ...

Dear friends of Eckhart Tolle,
If you’re struggling to have respectful conversations or to feel a sense of oneness and connection with others in these divisive times we’re living in, you’re not alone.
Passionately opposing points of view on women’s rights, gay marriage, immigration, human rights, family values, foreign relations, politics, and religion (just to name a few) are driving wedges and creating conflicts between strangers, friends, and family members with surprising frequency.
That’s why Eckhart has teamed up with world-renowned expert and pioneer in mind-body health, Deepak Chopra, MD, to host Awakening from the Illusion of Separateness: Spiritual Truths to Help Heal a Divided World.
It’s an all-new, world-premiere, online event to help you see how you can use the discord in your life and in the world to cross the chasms between us and ultimately to discover a greater sense of peace, empowerment, and connection.
And you’re invited (at no charge)!
Please join us for a remarkably rare opportunity to hear two of the greatest spiritual masters of our time reveal the simple shifts anyone can make to find and sustain a deeply authentic sense of peace and connection in our increasingly divided world.
Get free access to Awakening from the Illusion of Separateness: Spiritual Truths to Help Heal a Divided World now.
Warmly,
Your friends at Eckhart Teachings
P.S. It all happens on Wednesday, September 20 at three convenient times. Mark your calendar and be sure to share this invitation with the people you care about most!
Blue skies with wispy clouds, rainbows, snuggles with my spouse, birds chirping, kids laughing, the sound of rain, art, music, connecting with others in meaningful ways.
Like Kevin, my thoughts on this anniversary are somber and yet what I imagine I hear from within, though faintly, is still a ‘song’. No, not at all lilting or joyful today. More like the slow tolling of great bells and echoing chants weaving in and out — in all languages — full of yearning for peace to prevail on earth.
earth, wind, and fire!! the beginning of a new day. all children’s laughter (including my own). when students believe they can do it, work hard, and stop giving up.
Moments of Grace, when ‘wordly’ concerns are forgotten. In those times, a ray of sunshine, the sound of the breeze, the light playing on the leaves of the trees, the cool air of a winter morning. Simplicity presents its own song our hearts know instinctively and can sing along with.
It’s when I think about the good things in my life. That’s when the music that I like, plays in my head. And, yes that is how my heart sings out of happiness.
Many things make my heart sing. But today, on the anniversary of 9/11 in the US, my heart pauses in prayer for all the lives lost on that day, whose hearts didn’t sing, but stopped beating forever.
Yes indeed, Pilgrim. Our oldest daughter left on a plane out of Logan Airport headed to LA with work one hour before one of the planes left that would fly into the Twin Towers.
silence within. the only sound I hear is my heart singing
Each morning. . .
Flying on an airplane, reading a good book, being in nature’s company, studying world spirituality, praying to God, being with my friends, running, and seeing the beauty and mystery all around me all make my heart sing.
The wonder of nature, sunshine in the rain, smiles of my nieces, the stars, music, anything that can bring peace to my busy mind.
Up hiking on a hill, surrounded by the stunning expanse of nature.
Freedom
Happily living in my call to service.

I can still feel in my heart and my bones what it felt like to live through that day, Kevin.
