Moment by moment

You are not a unified self. There’s a parliament inside you, with different factions competing for control.

The you of five years ago and the you of five minutes ago are not the same.


 David Eagleman, American neuroscientist and author,

whatever

We just have to learn to love our lives so deeply

that we welcome whatever comes.

John Tarrant, Poison and Joy

Take the chance

Surrendering any sense of security and trusting the water itself to hold you.

You have been walking the water’s edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry.

You must dive naked under, deeper, under a thousand times deeper.

Love flows down.

Rumi, One-Handed Basket Weaving

Obstacles

What we do in meditation

is remove the obstacles

that hide and cover

our native capacity to love

Eknath Easwaren

Temporary stories

All of us live with temporary names and temporary stories,

which allow us to breath the air of the present,

while looking into the eyes of enormous powers

that make up our immediate horizon of understanding.

David Whyte, Denial

a stream of wellbeing

There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness,
or sickness or wellness.

There is only a Stream of Well-being.

The question that you’re wanting to ask yourself is,
“In this moment, am I letting it in or not?
Am I allowing it or am I not?”

Abraham/Hicks American motivational speaker.
