How we live

The value of a life
does not depend on
the place we occupy;

It depends on the way
we occupy that place.

attributed to Therese of Lisieux

How to resolve problems

Wait in the stillness,

until you get what you came for.

Byron Katie

Rare and fleeting

In all of the universe, throughout all of time,

no one else will be you,

doing this mountain of dishes on this random Tuesday ever again.

It is a sacred duty to open up to that rare and fleeting experience.

Brad Warner

now

An inner alignment with the Now is the end of suffering.

Eckhart Tolle

Sunday Quote: new every moment

A person who has clarified their real state sees only

each thing,

each thing,

each thing,

and lets go of understanding an underlying nature for each thing.

Dogen, Uji

how to have a completely interesting life

What I like about the trees is how
They do not talk about the failure of their parents
And what I like about the grasses is that
They are not grasses in recovery
And what I like about the flowers is
That they are not flowers in need of empowerment or validation.
They sway
Upon their thorny stems
As if whatever was about to happen next tonight
was sure to be completely interesting

Tony Hoagland, 1953 – 2018) American poet.
