Freedom from form means holding forms lightly in the midst of form.
Freedom from thought means having no thought in the midst of thought.
Huineng, 638–713, Sixth Patriarch of Zen

What a liberation to realize the the “voice in my head” is not who I am
Who am I then?
The one who sees that

Sunday Quote: Working with the conditions in our life
Another storm system passing over Ireland today, in the very wet Autumn which we are having.
As the Arab proverb says:
“The nature of the rain is the same,
but it makes thorns grow in the marshes
and flowers in the gardens“
Anthony de Mello, Awareness
All is held
The leaves are falling, falling as from far off,
as though far gardens withered in the skies;
they are falling with denying gestures.
And in the nights the heavy earth is falling
from all the stars down into loneliness.
We are all falling. This hand falls.
And look at others; it is in them all.
And yet there is One who holds this falling
endlessly gently in his hands.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Autumn
Whats actually happening
Experiencing,
rather than trying to have special experiences,
is where real freedom lies
Ezra Bayda, At Home in the Muddy Water
Create joy
Life will bring you pain all by itself.
Your responsibility is to create joy
