The power of the written word

The power of the written word

This morning I opened a book, just for an instant of  time,

while I turned the pages my eyes centered on one line voluntarily:

'Love is motiveless tenderness of the heart."

(quote attributed to Swami Muktananda)

By reading these words I was instantly lifted into another realm of feeling,

emotions came up, pictures and sounds came into my awareness.

My responses to reading a single line were setting the energy level, 

the flavor and the infinite possibilities for this newborn day.

A book is a messenger, the messages are quietly available,

  we can be enriched by these offerings instantly
 when taking in its pages with open eyes. 

A book can be a present by any understanding, 

 available and waiting for us to see its richness.
It can be a tool to see any moment from a fresh perspective.
