Life offers its wisdom generously.
Everything teaches
Not everyone learns

The best gift
Stepping out of the busyness,
stopping our endless pursuit of getting somewhere else,
is perhaps the most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit.
Tara Brach, True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in your own Awakened Heart
Returning home
Remember that your ‘True Home’ is not found outside yourself, but it is right in your own heart. We do not need to bring home anything for us to feel fulfilled. We have everything we need, right in our heart. We do not need to practice for many years or to travel far to arrive at our true home. If we know how to generate the energy of mindfulness and concentration, then with each breath, with each step, we arrive at our true home. Our true home is not a place far removed from us in space and time. It is not something that we can buy. Our true home is present right in the here and now; if only we know how to return and to be truly present to it.

The secret of living fully
A man sees in the world
what he carries in his heart.
Goethe, Faust
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Accepting each moment
All things, the grass as well as the trees,
are tender and soft while alive
When dead, they are withered and dried.
Therefore the stiff and the rigid are companions of death
The gentle and the kind are the companions of life
Lao Tzu
