There is great happiness in not wanting,

in not being something,

in not going somewhere.

Change is law

Karl Duffy2 Comments

Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death.

But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

“Socrates” in Dan Millman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior.

Making space

When we walk on the earth with reverence,

beauty will decide to trust us

The rushed heart and arrogant mind

lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.

John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible embrace

If we look at the world with a love of life,

the world will reveal its beauty to us.
