We Shall Not Cease From Exploration – T.S. Eliot



 
V

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make and end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. And every phrase
And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together)
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph. And any action
Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat
Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree
Are of equal duration. A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails
On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel
History is now and England.



With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this
      Calling

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
T.S.  Eliot - Four Quartets 4: Little Gidding

Out of the Fire 11:11 1/11/11

Out of the fire our future will be written and all who have forgotten or who have been in fear to stand up for what is good and right about us; like ethics, humanity, collective consciousness and the truth that all beings should have the right to pursue Happiness. These people who ignore the responsibility to think in… Terms of the next 7 generations into the future rather than a 24 hour news cycle or a business quarter will have missed the opportunity to suck all the juice out of the fruit of living and being here now! We are at a crossroad and I hope we carefully consider the road not taken!

“And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Yoga & Meditation Relief in Haiti

Today in my meditation i had an epiphany about equanimity through yoga & meditation, which led to the following vision:

Yoga and meditation integrated into the rebuilding of Haiti.  There is probably no place in the Universe or on our planet that could use these technologies more.  This could be a amazing tool as Haiti finds itself as a nation again and as Haitians find themselves again.

So given this intention i would like to know who out there would be interested in participating in a program to bring yoga to Haiti during the rebuilding process… Please let me know if you would like to get involved in any of the following ways or ways i have yet to imagine.

  1. Actually spend time in Haiti teaching yoga and teaching locals to teach yoga and meditation for after we are gone.
  2. The public relations of this humanitarian yogic initiative
  3. The funding part of this equation of course there will need to be support from our tribe.
  4. Holding this intention with love and light in your hearts.  Sending the energy of success in this intention.

I know in my heart after the physical injury have been treated and the rebuilding has begun Haiti will be the perfect place to embrace yoga and medition. This is an opportunity of Spirit…  Please join me and lets be the change WE can believe in.

Today is the first day i have been proud to be an American in a long time and it feels great.

in love light & peace,
Arthur

if interested in participating please email me at Yoga_Relief@pursuitofHappinessYOGA.com
