our natural state

We all feel that health is the natural state of the body.

Why do we not feel that happiness is the natural state of he mind?

Rupert Spira, You are the Happiness you Seek

Unreal expectations

If you set up feeling good

as what you have to be feeling,

then you are creating another thing

you are failing at.

Mark Epstein

Getting old

No one grows old by living

only by losing interest in living

Sunday Quote: Flow with whatever

Do not force things…. Can you afford to be careless?

So then, flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free; stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. 

David H. Rosen, The Tao of Jung: The Way of Integrity

Sunday Quote: Just as things are

The best meditation and, indeed, life instruction ….

The lillies!
The stems, just as they are,
the flowers, just as they are.

Matsuo Bashō, 1644 – 1694, Japanese poet, recognised as the greatest exponent of the haiku form.
