For A New Beginning ~ “In out of the way places of the heart Where your thoughts never think to wander This beginning has been quietly forming Waiting until you were ready to emerge. For a long time it has watched your desire Feeling the emptiness grow inside you Noticing how you willed yourself on Still unable to leave what you had outgrown. It watched you play with the seduction of safety And the gray promises that sameness whispered Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent Wondered would you always live like this. Then the delight, when your courage kindled, And out you stepped onto new ground, Your eyes young again with energy and dream A path of plenitude opening before you. Though your destination is not clear You can trust the promise of this opening; Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning That is one with your life’s desire. Awaken your spirit to adventure Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk Soon you will be home in a new rhythm For your soul senses the world that awaits you.” ~by John O’ Donohue Posted on January 2, 2015 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 1 Comment Art by Jeffrey Smith

“Don’t date a mystic, if you want the life you have. If you are comfortable and cozy, stay away. Whatever you have built around yourself to create comfort: it cannot stand in the blazing fire of a mystical woman. She is no trophy. She is no bodily pleasure-maker. She is the seer of souls. She is the womb that births the divine into the flesh and bone of matter. She doesn’t mean to burn your village to the ground, but she has seen what you are meant to become. You are not a peasant sheering sheep, as you have thought. You are a king dressed in rags who has amnesia.” ~ Alison Nappi Posted on December 23, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Dorina Costra
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand. . . and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.” ~Marie Beynon Ray Posted on December 22, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in General, Quotes Leave a comment

“And since women carry within the cellular structure of their bodies the imprint of all creation, they carry the consciousness not only of their own suffering but also the suffering of the earth: the wounds and desecration caused by a patriarchal culture who sees God only in heaven. The pain many women feel in the core of their being is also the unacknowledged pain of the earth cut off by this masculine way of thinking from the divine- exploited, damaged, and desecrated by our patriarchal culture. This suffering too needs to be accepted and sanctified, so that the energy of life can flow freely within the earth. The earth has cried and women have heard its cry, felt its tears.” ~Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee, the Return of The Feminine Spirit and The World Soul Posted on December 19, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment
