“We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been – a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free.” -Starhawk Posted on April 7, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in General, photography, Quotes 1 Comment Photography by Ian Barber
“In this time of great change, we will rabble-rouse for our future. We will make beautiful trouble on behalf of all peoples. We will roil this continent with upheaval for justice. We will rock the foundations of our nation with coordinated nonviolent action. We will disobey with great love the systems of destruction. We will wage struggle until the legal and social structures that lead us toward disaster are changed. We will be modern-day Gandhi’s, King’s, Chavez’, and Jesus’. We will be active, engaged, and above all else, we will be kind, be connected, and be unafraid.” ~ Rivera Sun Posted on April 4, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Tagged #waveofaction 2 Comments The Worldwide Wave of Action has begun!

“Attempts to wake before our time are often punished, especially by those who love us most. Because they, bless them, are asleep. They think anyone who wakes up, or who, still asleep, realizes that what is taken to be real is a ‘dream’ is going crazy.” ~ R.D.

“Do not be afraid of what appears to be chaos or dissolution – embrace the full measure of your life at any cost. Bare your heart to the Unknown and never look back. Sincerity, one-pointedness, and courage are indispensable qualities in awakening from the dream state of ego to the peace and ease of awakened Being.” ~Adyashanti Posted on April 1, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Weroni
“First become alone. First start enjoying yourself. First love yourself. First become so authentically happy that if nobody comes it doesn’t matter; you are full, overflowing. If nobody knocks at your door it is perfectly okay — you are not missing. You are not waiting for somebody to come and knock at the door. You are at home. If somebody comes, good, beautiful. If nobody comes, that too is beautiful and good. THEN move into relationship. Now you move like a master, not like a beggar. Now you move like an emperor, not like a beggar. And the person who has lived in his aloneness will always be attracted to another person who is also living his aloneness beautifully, because the same attracts the same. When two masters meet — masters of their being, of their aloneness — happiness is not just added, it is multiplied. It becomes a tremendous phenomenon of celebration. And they don’t exploit, they share. They don’t use each other. Rather, on the contrary, they both become one and enjoy the existence that surrounds them.” ~Osho Posted on March 31, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes 3 Comments
“Friend do it this way – that is, whatever you do in life, do the very best you can with both your heart and mind. And if you do it that way, the Power Of The Universe will come to your assistance, if your heart and mind are in Unity. All of Creation is related. And the hurt of one is the hurt of all. And the honor of one is the honor of all. And whatever we do effects everything in the Universe. If you do it that way – that is, if you truly join your heart and mind as One – whatever you ask for, that’s the Way It’s Going To Be.” ~White Buffalo Calf Woman Posted on March 28, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, General, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Annelie Solis
“The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are bilabial kin, not resources; or if the planet is our Mother, not an opportunity-then we will treat each other with greater respect. Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective.” ~David Suzuki Posted on March 27, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Cartoon, General, Quotes 1 Comment
