When we experience pure silence in the mind, the body becomes silent also.
And in that field of silence, healing is much more efficient.

Sunday Quote: Embrace
Morning to night I am never done with looking
Looking, I mean not just standing around
but standing around as though with your arms open
Mary Oliver, Where Does the Temple Begin, Where Does It End?
Sunday Quote: Beauty
One does not see anything
until one sees its beauty
Oscar Wilde
Life is heaven
We don’t understand
that life is heaven,
for we have only to understand that
and it will at once be fulfilled
in all its beauty,
we shall embrace each other and weep.
Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Supposed to be happening
The Buddhist teachings are fabulous at simply working with what’s happening as your path of awakening, rather than treating your life experiences as some kind of deviation from what is supposed to be happening.
Pema Chodron in conversation with Jack Kornfield, The wondrous Path of Difficulties
Here and Now
Eternity isn’t some later time. Eternity isn’t a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.
Joseph Campbell
