Only a total dance, an authentic love, a whole-hearted joy, may perhaps create some miracles around you.
But you will not be the one who has done them; you will not be the one who can brag about them.
They will happen only when you are not.

Time for what is essential
Not just writers, but politicians, journalists and most of modern distracted society…
Most writers waste people’s time with too many words. I’m trying to reduce everything down to the minimum.
My last work will be a blank piece of paper.
Samuel Beckett
Just start
I don’t think that you have to get all your inner stuff together and totally integrated before you can actually be what you’ve realized. You’re going to wait forever if you wait for that.
Just start being what you know now.

Sunday Quote: Look
I shut my eyes in order to see.
Paul Gauguin
Problems as opportunities
View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don’t run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem? Great.
More grist for the mill.
Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice.
By freedom I mean freedom from afflictions, from anger, and from despair.
