I have become my own version of an optimist.
If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door – or I’ll make a door.
Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
Rabindranath Tagore
Every minute
Dialogue with the invisible can go on every minute,
and with surprising gaiety I am saying thank you as I
remember who I am, a woman learning to praise
something as small as dandelion petals floating on the
steaming surface of this bowl of vegetable soup,
my happy, savoring tongue.
Jeanne Lohmann, To Say Nothing But Thank You (extract)
Look for the beauty
When there is love, there is beauty.
When love is drying up in your life, look for the beauty around you.
That is where love can be found.
Haemin Sunim, The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down
Patiently we practice every day
Nothing which is ready-to-hand or present-to-hand within the world functions…. in the face of which anxiety is anxious.
Martin Heidegger, Being and Time
Sunday Quote : Hope
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for.
And the most you can do is live inside that hope.
Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
As a question
To be alone for any length of time is to shed an outer skin. The body is inhabited in a different way when we are alone than when we are with others. Alone, we live in our bodies as a question rather than a statement.
David Whyte, Consolations
