The more you can free yourself from
your internalization of the gaze of others,
the more liberated you feel…[and]…the more you will unleash the healthy energies of the mind.

Wasting time
If you say that getting money is the most important thing, you’ll spend your life completely wasting your time.
You’ll be doing things you don’t like in order to go on living, that is, to go on doing things you don’t like doing, which is stupid.
Alan Watts
Where I am
Task: to be where I am.
Even when I’m in this solemn and absurd
role: I am still the place
where creation works on itself.
Tomas Tranströmer, 1931 – 2015, Swedish poet and psychologist, Guard Duty [extract]
Sunday Quote: Always setting out
Having no destination, I am never lost.

Let it flow
Can’t just “let it go”?
That’s because emotions are not like rocks we can drop and throw.
They are more like drops of water that need to run through us.
So don’t let it go
Let it flow

Every moment
Wear gratitude like a cloak
and it will feed every corner of your life.
