GALA EVENT!! MAJOR POW WOW OF ART AND JOY!! RL HALL & LINAJI !!
LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS BY RL HALL AND LINAJI
A collaboration of loving work between rlhall & linaji – Webs & Layers
Your Spiritual side is wise, intuitive, creative, loving, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving, always aspiring to truth and goodness – or – your life is lived in confusion, anger, and perhaps, even, layers of lies and deceit.” ~ Dr. John Sarno, The Divided Mind
“If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?”
~ Dogen
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~ Antoine Saint-Exupéry
“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” ~ William Blake
_“Believe that your life is worth living, and your belief will create the fact.” ~ William James
Acceptance ~ Robert Frost
When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud
And goes down burning into the gulf below,
No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud
At what has happened. Birds, at least must know
It is the change to darkness in the sky.
Murmuring something quiet in her breast,
One bird begins to close a faded eye;
Or overtaken too far from his nest,
Hurrying low above the grove, some waif
Swoops just in time to his remembered tree.
At most he thinks or twitters softly, ‘Safe!
Now let the night be dark for all of me.
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be.’_
_Layers of Beliefs
I have unfurled my wisdom
And before me
I only know
Truths
That have been born and branded
By my hand
How can it be any other way?
I have heard and have been told
Of
About
Yours…
But My core is the listener
The one who knew before the knowing
Or of the Telling
We are parted now..
maybe for 4 years or 10
Maybe it is not again
But the knowing you
Was like a root plant
Better left in the shade of its’ own calling
Than to open to the sun of my smile
Or yours.
Past Lives are just that,
Past..
The Now that pulsates and thrives
Has been dropped from view..
It is no longer about you
Time for a new lesson
Time for a new view._
Thank You Everyone, espically RL Hall for linking into my heart and for setting up most of this show.. her finding the amazing quotes from our favorite poets and leaders made the core of our work shine!! What a pleasure this collaboration was between us!
