Heaven is under our feet

as well as over our heads

Henry David Thoreau

To be present

Karl DuffyLeave a comment

To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself,

and to be present in all that one does,

from the effort of loving, to the making of bread

James Baldwin

Rest in your source

Karl DuffyLeave a comment

Grace is always present.

You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend.

It is really inside you, in your heart.

When the mind rests in its Source, grace rushes forth,

sprouting as from a spring within you.

Ramana Maharshi

Making peace within

Unless the inner forces of negative emotions are conquered,

strife with outer enemies will never end.

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, 1910 – 1991

Contradiction

It must be obvious..

that there is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe

whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity.

Alan Watts

Just a story

Any story that you tell about yourself is just food for the ego.

There is no authentic story.

Byron Katie
