Already whole

You are whole and also part of larger and larger circles of wholeness
you many not even know about.
You are never alone.
And you already belong.
You belong to humanity. You belong to life.

You belong to this moment, this breath.

Our life is frittered away by detail.

Simplify, simplify.

A way to see each moment

Continuing to post some quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh who is very ill in hospital as  a reminder to keep him in your thoughts

Do not just look for what you want to see,
that would be futile.
Do not look for anything,
but allow the insight to have a chance to come by itself.
That insight will help liberate you

Thich Nhat Hanh

Quietly waiting

You are not dead yet.

It is not too late

To open your depths by plunging into them

And drink in the life

That reveals itself quietly there.

Thanks in the middle of the world

File:Solitary Tree at Dawn - geograph.org.uk - 708348.jpg

Mostly I just stand in the dark field,

in the middle of the world, breathing

in and out. Life so far doesn’t have any other name

but breath and light, wind and rain.

If there’s a temple, I haven’t found it yet.
