nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

"Becoming a genuine individual requires learning the
oppositions within oneself. Those who fail or refuse to face the oppositions
within have no choice but to find enemies to project
upon. Enemy simply means a "not-friend;" unless a
person deals with the not-friend within they require enemies around them."

-Michael Meade

practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are
the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God."

-Martha Graham

 

“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”

-Albert Einstein


Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true
wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you
realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.

-Lao Tzu


Love is never afraid of
fear. Fear is always afraid of love.

-Sri
Chinmoy


When I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.

-Lao Tzu

 

The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one
hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other.  It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding
it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.

-Alan Watts

There is a dramatic and powerful connection between our mind and body, and our body and mind—in fact, it really should not be called a connection, because it is just ONE bidirectional system.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are
mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same
time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

                -Jack Kerouac, On the Road

 

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

                -Francois de la Rochefoucauld

 

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no
matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very
arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.

                 - Wendell Berry

 

"When feeling urgent, you must slow down."

                
- Mark
Nepo

 

Continuous, calm, powerful use of the will shakes the forces
of creation and brings a response from the Infinite.

                   -Parmahansa Yogananda    

 

Every person that you meet knows something you don't; learn
from them.

                -H. Jackson Brown

 

Fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to. I know it’s
from clinging and I know it will pass. I can tell myself, “I’m frightened now
because even though I know what’s true, I have forgotten it right now. I know
the possibility of remembering exists.” That possibility, that conviction,
gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright.

                -Sylvia Boorstein

 

I close my eyes

and see clearly . . .

 

I stop trying to listen

and I hear truth . . .

 

I am silent

and my heart sings . . .

 

I seek no contact

and I find union . . .

 

I am still

and move forward . . .

 

I am gentle

and need no strength . . .

 

I am humble

and remain whole . . .

                -Ancient Taoist Meditation

 

We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or
doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we
do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it
in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that
were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best.
Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on
the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as
when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing
is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is
always arrived at in the immediate moment.

                -Alan Watts

 

The best portion of a good

person’s life,

Those little, nameless,

Unremembered acts

Of kindness and love.

                -William Wordsworth

 

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains eevn while living in paradise.

                -Bahu'u'llah
