Be attentive to what is arising within you, and place that above everything else…What is happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love; somehow you must find a way to work at it.

Sunday Quote: To see
What is the hardest thing of all?
What seems to be the easiest: to use your eyes to see what lies in front of you
Goethe, The Heart of Listening
Born into colour
Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into colour.
Rumi
What the mind is used to
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

Finding a better space
Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
I would like to see you living in better conditions.

Not a problem
Can you imagine, if you really let it in, that you are not a problem to be solved in any way?
Imagine you knew that anything that tells you otherwise is just a movement of thought in the mind that says “Whatever is, isn’t the way it is supposed to be.” So the biggest act of compassion starts within. And when the self is no longer seen as a problem, this is called “the peace that passes all understanding.
