It’s a sign of wisdom to avoid believing every thought that enters your mind.
It’s a mark of emotional intelligence to avoid internalizing every feeling that enters your heart.

Inhabit this life completely
No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth, lest we remain unused.
Rainer Maria Rilke
where you are
The human mind has absolute freedom as its true nature
There are thousands upon thousands of students who have practiced meditation and achieved this realisation.
Do not doubt this possibility because of the simplicity of the method.
If you cannot find the truth where you are, where do you think you will find it?

Sunday Quote: imposing your preferences
Allow life to unfold without trying to force it into the shape imagined by the mind.
Work at allowing more things to unfold in your life
without forcing them to happen
and without rejecting the ones that don’t fit your idea of
what “should” be happening.
Jon Kabat Zinn, Wherever you go, There you Are
Among the trees
I go among the trees and sit still.
All my stirring becomes quiet
around me like circles on water.
My tasks lie in their places
where I left them, asleep like cattle.
Wendell Berry I Go Among Trees and Sit Still
Need less…
If you feel that your dreams aren’t coming true, you might think that you need to do more, or to think and strategize more.
In fact, what you might need is less – less noise coming to you from both inside and outside -so that you have the space for your heart’s truest intention to germinate and flourish
