In this world, nothing is as dear to someone as his or her own life, so there is no greater crime than taking life away, and no conditioned virtue brings greater merit than the act of saving beings and ransoming their lives.
𑁋Chatral Rinpoche, The Benefits of Saving Lives
Each breath is a blessing, Resting your mind
Calming you and guiding you with ease
Every moment is taken with awareness of all sensations
Let the daily tasks of life become ones meditation
Always aware and returning to a breath of peace
If hungry? Eat. If tired? Sleep. Simplify life
For example… What possessions do we truly need?
To question is zen… To question is mindfulness
Ask yourself why one would cling to worldly possessions
But let not a possession cloud ones mind either
Return to your breath upon every reflection
To let go of ones worldly attachments will end the suffering
With everything being impermanent, why attach?
Choosing to move on with mindfulness and peace
Think of others and what you may have to offer them for their needs
A childhood saying… Do unto others what you wish done unto you
And after that thought, we return to the breath once again…
In… and out…
Focusing on the breath, let your thoughts come and go,
Do not dwell on them
Let the thought go…
In… and out…
In the dark of night I arise once again
To collect my thoughts I write with pen
Its about time I do this again
With no regrets where does this stem?
How long have I been in this place
My skyscraper oasis
Thousands of faces
As the city tells tales naked
Must be about a year now
I was losing my mind but Im here now
Nada to fear now
Its so clear now
Cool; calm; collected
Solemnly protected by my own perspectives
I walk with a thousand spirits
I can see; smell and hear this
They touch with a thousand arms to feel this
I dream of the promise land; where peace abides
Mountains streamline across the sky
Prayer flags cross the trails on my path to freedom
I am given help along my jouney
Compassion for all the sentient beings on earth
This is my path and it was always meant for me
Rebirth; Samsara
Or a heavenly Nirvana
Eyes transfixed on Buddha
I chant in Sanskrit
Return to center and emit a white light
Transmit across the atlas
Slow my breathing
Completely enveloped in my practice
Place the candles lit
Offerings for the path I follow
Bowing to them; I’m very thankful
For yesterday, today, tommorow
Close my eyes and listen
My karmatic conditions
Meditating a vision
Peace, love and forgiveness
Now; did I inherit
My past lifes merit
I feel blessed; until my death
I must share it
Thank you universe
Thank you for my buddha nature
Thank you for food and shelter
Thank you for now;
Thank you for later.

Pop you in my mouth like a freshly picked strawberry
Love you with my heart and soul with longevity
Sew us intertwined natural like the vines that grow
And we will grow together and learn and know together
We comfort each other like soul food
Complement each other souls because we know good; and evil
Two different people with similar unique features
Under a ravens wings we are the earths creatures
Some thing sacred awaits us and waits to awake inside us
Nothing that mother earth cannot birth and provide us
I see you and you see eye
Love you without limits and beyond the skies.
-Nina
Gaining some insight when meditation is in flight
Self subjection who is I; Reflections
I’m many interchanging atoms that rebuilds the self
Intertwined; its likes to rewind as well
Look to the future; obtuse obscured view
I’m in me and everything I see and hear is in me
In between the nuerons and in between the ears
All of my flaws and blessing and alternate settings
My lifes and dislikes that change daily; like memories fading
I am ever-changing
As I sit
Meditating.
-Nina

Strange to find peace in this now; but here I am
Fond of change like autumn leaves blow breeze
Present tense; change strange and evident
But Im here aware wide awake stare; im just
Without care
Blessing to the ill who have fallen to the will of nature
My stature is forever patient
Statistics stream like star streams
Yet I sit and day dream in between the lines of these times
Finesse caress; these rhymes
Feminine forever ancient Egyptian feline
Who wanders without worry and skurrys playful
It is simple nature; take this and embrace this
We all must simply awaken and face this
Together harmonious; our ways were felonious
Learn to love and love to learn a new path
When they see a new you like whos THAT
Forever remaining in a change and I thank god for this change that is raining…
Down upon us.

I awaken as the night sky pours on the concrete
Moonlight cascades the mountain ranges and trees
A quietness and stillness as the darkness explores
It is serene and void of the daylights abrubt
Here is where anything is possible and the unreal comes to life
The animals no longer hide; roaming the terrain
The fox; wolf; racoons; coyotes; owls and bears
I feel as if a visitor in this time and place and I respect it
I respect its sacredness and its divine still
While streetlights flicker along the cascading streets
Not a sound and not a movement nor passing cars
All is still yet I know it is very much alive
When I awaken to the nights sky
