Just like a bead of water sits lightly on a lotus leaf,
or water on a red lily,
a wise person does not cling to
what is seen, heard or felt,
as they do not add on to the seen, the heard, or the felt.
The Buddha, Jara Sutta, 4.6
If you set up feeling good
as what you have to be feeling,
then you are creating another thing
you are failing at.
Mark Epstein
unbeing dead isn’t being alive.

No one grows old by living
– only by losing interest in living
Marie Beynon Rey
Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life
Your life situation exists in time;
Your life is now.
Your life situation is mind-stuff;
Your life is real.
Eckhart Tolle
Finally some brighter mornings here in Ireland. We can often get stuck in a narrow view of ourselves.
The Buddha said, “O Nobly born, remember the pure open sky of your own true nature
Return to it. Trust it.
It is home.
