Do not pursue the past.
Do not usher in the future.
Rest calmly within present awareness,
clear and non-conceptual
Karma Wangchûg Dorjé, 1556 – 1603, The Ocean of Definitive Meaning

Just this moment
And without judging, condemning, forcing, blaming, just come back to this moment, this breath. Each breath, a new beginning. Each out breath, a complete letting go. And voila, here you are again, right here, and no agenda. Just this moment. Just this breath.
Jon Kabat Zinn
Sunday Quote: It’s like this
Life could be limitless joy if we would only take it for what it is, in the way it is given to us.
Tolstoy
Ebb and flow
When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible- in life as in love – is in growth, in fluidity… in freedom.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1906 – 2001, American author and aviator, Gift from the Sea
Whatever is on the path
Very cold mornings here, with frost on the grass and ice on the roads, making walking and driving quite treacherous.
The courage to hear and embody opens us to a startling secret, that the best chance to be whole is to love whatever gets in the way, until it ceases to be an obstacle.
Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening

We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life
