Tolerating ambiguity

As one matures, a greater tolerance of ambiguity is essential both for growth
and as a measure of respect for the autonomy of the mystery.
James Hollis, Tracking the Gods

Being with what arises and passes away

A wise person accompanies and welcomes all that happens,

both that which is arising and that which is dying…

This is why his joy is unconditional.

Fung Yu-Lan, Chinese Philosopher, 1895 – 1990

Sunday Quote: Joy

The music in our heart

When I am silent,

I fall into that place where everything is music.

Rumi

A new day

dawn 333

Take the breath of the new dawn,
make it a part of you,
it will give you strength.

Hopi saying

Gently appreciating

child

If we are willing to take an unbiased look, we will find that, in spite of all of our problems and confusion, all our emotional and psychological ups and down, there is something basically good about our existence as human beings. Every human being has a basic nature of goodness, which is undiluted and unconfused. That goodness contains tremendous gentleness and appreciation.

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

What I am living for

nametag_thumb

If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair,

but ask me what I am living for, in detail,

ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.

Thomas Merton
