When you treat your time as though you are a machine;
a doing machine;
you are committing violence against the sacredness of life itself.

Sunday Quote: In the heart
If you want the truth, I will tell you the truth:
Listen to the secret sound,
the real sound,
which is within you
Kabir
Look differently
Things don’t change.
You change your way of looking, that’s all

Sunday Quote: Blessings
But listen to me.
For one moment quit being sad.
Hear blessings dropping their blossoms
around you.

Sunday Quote: Able to hold both
There is no paradise,
no place of true completion
that does not include within its walls
that does not include within its walls
the unknown.
Jane Hirshfield
Not holding on
We can sometimes make our experiences very solid and permanent. This gives them more importance and increases our tendency to become identified with their energy, and get stuck in the story, causing more suffering in this way.
Transience is the force of time that makes a ghost of every experience. There was never a dawn, regardless how beautiful or promising, that did not grow into a noontime. There was never a noon that did not fall into afternoon. There was never an afternoon that did not fade toward evening. There never was a day yet that did not get buried in the graveyard of the night.
In this way transience makes a ghost out of everything that happens to us.
John O’Donohue, Anam Cara
