We just have to learn to love our lives so deeply
that we welcome whatever comes.

A masterpiece
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved.
You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
And the way to realize it is stillness.

weather report
What if I were to allow my inner weather to become a Weather Report? Think of it this way: the tides of my life, the ebb and flow of my emotional weather, can tell me how I am at any moment – happy or desperate, discouraged, outraged or quiet. Two hours ago I was tense and anxious. Now I am pensive and relaxed. What will I be next? Everything changes, so if I have a little patience my moods and attitudes will change too.
Aha! A Weather Report! That’s the point! To see, to take stock of my inner weather, just as I would with a glance out my window as I plan my day. Not to judge or complain, not to accuse or deny. Let my inner weather tell me how I am.

To be there
Maybe that’s it, the meaning of life, or one of them, the best of them: to find the moments that are not the things that happen, but the things that finally are. To be there. To be in them. To feel the world hold its breath, and you holding yours with it, and know that in the stillness, in the quiet, in the waiting, there is everything

Why aren’t you?
The forest is peaceful , why aren’t you?
You hold onto the things that are causing you confusion.
Let nature teach you. Hear the birdsong, then let go.
If you know nature, you’ll know the truth
If you know truth, You’ll know nature
