When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, ‘Have faith and take your troubles to God.’
Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help – only yourself.
Martin Buber, philosopher, 1978 – 1965
It is really easy to be kind to others
when I remember that none of us came into this world
with a manual about how to get it all right.
Jill Bolte Taylor, neuroscientist and author
Many of us have been running all our lives. We have the feeling that we need to run – into the future, away from the past, out from wherever we are.
In truth, we don’t need to go anywhere.
We just need to sit down and look deeply to discover that the whole cosmos is right here within us.
Thich Nhat Hanh
I would like to live
Like a river flows.
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.
John O Donohue, Irish poet and author, Fluent
Might try this for a while…
Let life live you for a while
instead of trying to make yourself live life
Alan Watts
Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in you. It is not in the future as a goal to be arrived at, it is here now, this very moment — in your breathing, circulating in your blood, beating in your heart – whatsoever you are is your life, and if you start seeking meaning somewhere else, you will miss it.
