But only some will taste life

Impermanent
See and realize
that this world
is not permanent.
Neither late nor early flowers
will remain.

In our minds
We don’t really hear what people say,
We imagine what they mean
Byron Katie
From the heart
You are what your deep, driving desire is.
As is your desire, so is your intention.
As is your intention, so is your will.
As is your will, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny,
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Hindu Scriptures, 7th-6th century BCE.
Thoughts
Each thought creates according to its own nature.
Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.
Paramahansa Yogananda, 1893 – 1952
Where is our home
Most of nature – plants and animals – have periods of rest. We find it hard.
All of our unhappiness comes from one thing only, which is the inability to sit quietly, in a room alone. Pascal
[Tout le malheur des hommes vient d’une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.]
I will wait here in the fields
to see how well the rain
brings on the grass….
I will be standing in the woods
where the old trees
move only with the wind
and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don’t come with me.
You stay home too.
Wendell Berry 1934- American poet, environmental activist and farmer, Stay Home
