TEA AND ZEN - THREADS
There are moments when words arise not from thought, but from presence when the silence speaks, and the heart listens. Welcome to Letters from the Threshold, a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontieres a sanctuary of presence, remembrance, and the healing beauty of stillness, drawn from the well of lived experience, grief, love, and the sacred technologies of being.

”Journey to Love: Dissolving Illusions and Embracing Truth”
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Here I reflect on a scene from the movie "Oppenheimer" where Robert Oppenheimer discusses the formation of beings as energy attracted together, which I interpret as Love. I share my beliefs about the nature of existence, emphasizing that after death, there is no loss as individuals merge with the Universal Love. In this recording I question why beings ever leave this state of Love and speculate that suffering and illusion are part of the creative process, leading individuals back from the illusion of separateness from Love. I share a story about grief being a path back to the formless, emphasizing the presence of Love even in times of intense pain. I express a commitment to helping others become aware of their true nature and navigate their pain with Love. Nigel Lott Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

TO THE MOON

To The MoonAnd, like a dying lady lean and pale,Who totters forth, wrapp'd in a gauzy veil,Out of her chamber, led by the insaneAnd feeble wanderings of her fading brain,The moon arose up in the murky east,A white and shapeless mass.Art thou pale for wearinessOf climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,Wandering companionlessAmong the stars that have a different birth,And ever changing, like a joyless eyeThat finds no object worth its constancy.

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY

1788 –1824I.She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.II.One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place.III.And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

THE ETERNAL LOVE
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Every moment is precious, and every breath we take is a testament to the divine presence that surrounds us. Love is the universal force that permeates all matter, transcending the confines of form and space. It holds the power to heal the deepest wounds and bring forth transformation. It is the conduit through which truth flows, transforming suffering into liberation.
