Hay-Ku of the Day (Three Naturals)

"We are Limited,
Not by our Abilities,
But by Our Vision."

-- Anonymous

"O Blessed Flame of
Divine Love I Am Thy Pure
Presence Forever."

-- "I AM" Religious Activity

"I take the Divine
Awareness of God to Be
My Identity."

-- Bill Samuel

[Rich Note: The first quote was used by Kurt Warner during a pre-game show this morning, supporting his contention that the most important quality of an NFL quarterback is "vision"; and that, in particular, with respect to the player's "breath of vision," as it relates to seeing "the whole field" (or "big picture"):

Or Seen Hay-Ku-Wise:

Narrow focus and
Shifts in attention create
Double-mindedness.

A short focal length
And narrow breadth of vision
Limits Awareness.

***

Things appear to be
Happening faster when we're
Narrowly focused.

Things appear to slow
Down with longer focal length
And broader vision.

***

A short focal length
And narrow breadth of vision
Speeds everything-up.

Narrow vision has
A short focal length and makes
Things happen faster.

***

I get smarter as
Life seems to slow down due to
Expanded vision.

I get dumber with
Narrow fields of vision and
Short focal lengths.

***

Subject to mental
Myopia while I am
Self-Identified.

Extreme cases of
Mental myopia come
With narrow focus.

***

Attention fixed on
Its Source extends focal length
And expands vision.

Our mental focal
Length and Breadth of vision can
Become Infinite.

Without any self
Reference focal length
Becomes Limitless.]

Another Natural (Unintended) Haiku:

"Be Aware...the Grace
Appears without warning...but
To an Open Heart...!"

(From Nitin Ram's "Self-Calling: Self Reminder Meditations.")"
