The mind quiets down because we observe it
rather than getting lost in it

Not getting stuck in passing thoughts
One should learn from nature by observing the fact that flowing water never stagnates
and a busy door with active hinges never rusts

Not in the ideas
One may explain water,
But the mouth will not get wet

Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust the momentum, the force that’s moving you forward – physically.
Distrust words and thoughts. For they are still, but they convey upon you the illusion that their moving.
Life happens when you’re moving, not when you’re thinking.

Sunday Quote: As it is
Just receive life as it is.
Don’t make a problem about it.
Open yourself to the way things are.
Ajahn Sumedho
Content where we are
We all want to be famous people,
and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
