How we see
Consumed with anger,
The world is an ugly place.
Bathed in happiness,
The world is a wonderful place.
But….aha! It’s the same world.

Outside
There is no reality except the one contained within us.
That is why so many people live such an unreal life.
They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.
Hermann Hesse Demian
Sunday Quote: Connection
Safety is not the absence of threat,
it is the presence of connection

Awareness is aware of itself as the nature of mind.
When local awareness becomes aware of spacious awareness, it begins to recognize itself. When local awareness and spacious awareness unite, they realize they have always been united. Awareness knows itself by being itself. We discover that awareness is already awake without our help.
If you can abide as awareness of itself – content-less, timeless, boundless, knowing – for even three to five seconds, that experience can shift you into the ground of Being.

Blessed
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give,
and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
