It is not death that one should be afraid of,

but rather never beginning to live

The only people who ever get any place interesting

are the people who get lost.

Where to look

If we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, 

it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

(Si nous sommes incapables de trouver la tranquillite en nous-mêmes,

il ne sert à rien de la chercher ailleurs)

Look at a tree, a flower, a plant.

Let your awareness rest upon it.

How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being.

Allow nature to teach you stillness

Eckhart Tolle
