The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved;
it is a reality to be experienced

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

Not in the ideas
One may explain water,
But the mouth will not get wet
Takuan Sōhō, 1573 – 1645 Zen Buddhist from the Rinzai school
Content where we are
We all want to be famous people,
and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

Wonder and astonishment
Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!”
and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

An Easter Sunday Quote
My eyes already touch the sunny hill
going far ahead of the road I have begun
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp
It has its inner light even from a distance
and changes us even if we do not reach it
into something else, which hardly sensing it, we already are.
Rainer Maria Rilke
