The forest is peaceful, why aren’t you?
You hold on to things, causing your confusion.
Let nature teach you.
Hear the bird’s song …. then let go.
Ajahn Chah

The perfect prayer
When I rise up
let me rise up joyful
like a bird
When I fall
let me fall without regret
like a leaf.
Wendell Berry, Prayers and Sayings of the Mad Farmer
Sunday Quote: listen to the heart
Intellect gets you to the door,
but it doesn’t take you into the house.
Shams-i Tabrīzī, 1185–1248, Persian poet
Often we don’t know
It’s like driving a car at night.
You never see further than your headlights,
but you can make the whole trip that way.
E. L. Doctorow, 1931 – 2015, American novelist
What we believe to be true
Who would you be without your story?
Pain-free, happy, and totally available if someone needs you — a listener, a teacher in the house, a Buddha in the house…..
Byron Katie
Wandering
Life is a garden, not a road.
We enter and exit through the same gate.
Wandering,
where we go matters less than what we notice.
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle
