When quiet and still,
we rediscover that regardless of where we search,
life is never someplace else.

Sunday Quote: If you make space
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
Henri Matisse
Celebrate
Spring and all its flowers now
joyously break their vow of silence.
It is time for
celebration, not for
lying low.
Hafiz
The Elephant already at home
Happiness cannot be found through great effort and willpower,
But is already present
In relaxation and letting go.
Don’t strain yourself, there is nothing to do.
As soon as you relax this grasping,
there is space – open, inviting and comfortable.
So make use of it. Everything is already yours.
Search no more.
Don’t go into the inextricable jungle
looking for the elephant who is already quietly at home.
Lama Gendun Rinpoche, Happiness
Living with gaps
We think we need to hold everything close….to know where everything is going.
But probably, in life, the most important skill to learn is….
There are poets who learn from you
to say, what you, in your aloneness, are;
and they learn through you to live distantness,
as the evenings through the great stars
become accustomed to eternity.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Girls
Unique experiences
To the attentive eye,
each moment of the year
has its own beauty,
and in the same field,
it beholds,
every hour,
a picture which was never seen before,
and which shall never be seen again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
