"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do."
Rumi

"Love and serve humanity.
Assist everyone.
Be happy, be courteous.
Be a dynamo of irrepressible joy.
Recognise God and goodness in every face.
Thre is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future.
Praise everyone. If you cannot praise someone, let them out of your life.
Be original, be inventive.
Be courageous.
Take courage again and again.
Do not imitate, be strong, be upright.
Do not lean on the crutches of others.
Think with your own head. Be yourself.
All perfection and every divine virtue are hidden within you.
Reveal them to the world.
Wisdom, too, is already within you.
Let it shine forth.
Let the Lord's grace set you free.
Let your life be that of the rose.
In silence, it speaks the language of fragrance.
Om Namaha Shivaya."

Babaji, 1984

Kyudo - Zen in the Art of Archery

“In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects, but one reality.”  Eugen Herrigel

The art of shooting an arrow

Be in the moment

Empty your mind

Inhale, find your centre

One pointed mind

Exhale, let go your being

Meditate

The beauty and lightness of the form as lethal as it could be
