Sometimes I need only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed

The key insight
Groundlessness, uncertainty, insecurity, vulnerability — these are words that ordinarily carry a negative connotation. We’re generally wary of these feelings and try to elude them in any way possible.
But groundlessness isn’t something we need to avoid. The same feeling we find so troubling when we open to it can be experienced as a huge relief, as freedom from all restraints. It can be experienced as a mind so unbiased and relaxed that we feel expansive and joyful.
Pema Chodron, Living Beautifully: with Uncertainty and Change
The current of life
Don’t change: Desire to change is the enemy of love.
Don’t change yourselves: Love yourselves as you are.
Don’t change others: Love all others as they are.
Don’t change the world: It is in God’s hands and he knows.
And if you do that….. change will occur marvellously in its own way and in its own time
Yield to the current of life unencumbered by baggage.

What is in front of you
Happiness lies not in finding what is missing,
but in finding what is present
Tara Brach
Don’t hide love
Don’t hide love.
If you feel it, express it – not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly.
The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person but failure to act on the love you feel.
Martha Beck
Sunday Quote: Reaching the mystery
We all have an deep seated drive to seek happiness somewhere else, with special conditions
Reaching the mystery is nothing other than breaking through
and grabbing an ordinary person’s life.
