If you set up feeling good
as what you have to be feeling,
then you are creating another thing
you are failing at.

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.

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.
Continually expecting
Our continual mistake is that we do not concentrate upon the present day, the actual hour, of our life; we live in the past or the future;
We are continually expecting the coming of some special hour when our life shall unfold itself in its full significance.
And we do not observe that life is flowing like water through our fingers, sifting like precious grains from a loosely fastened bag.
Alexander Elchaninov, 1881 – 1943, Russian Orthodox priest
