Quietly, the snow melts

Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.

A white flower grows in quietness.

Let your tongue become that flower

Rumi

The path we must take

It is absolutely fundamental that we learn, that when difficult situations and feelings arise, they are not obstacles to be avoided, but rather these very difficultities are, in fact, the path itself

Ezra Bayda

We cannot run away from ourselves

You can outdistance that which is running after you,

but cannot outdistance that which is running inside you.

African proverb
