Not the good we expected others to do.

The best season
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
Wu Men Hui-k’ai, 1183 – 1260, Chinese Chan master
Stephen Mitchell translation
Leaning forward
Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself.
Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end
Eckhart Tolle
Very true
The mind starts to become quiet
when it really sees how untrue its narrative is.
Adyashanti
Don’t waste it
Since there is nothing but just this moment
The time-being
is all the time there is.
Dogen, 1200 – 1253, Buddhist priest and writer, founder of the Soto school of Zen, Shōbōgenzō
Are you listening?
The next message that you need
is always right where you are
Ram Dass
