Use your own light
and return to the source of light.
This is called practicing eternity.

The best day
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sunday Quote: our fears
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering
is worse than the suffering itself.
Paulo Coehlo, The Alchemist
The final Freedom
We hurry through the so-called boring things in order to attend to that which we deem more important, interesting.
Perhaps the final freedom will be a recognition that everything in every moment is ‘essential’ and that nothing at all is ‘important.’
Helen M. Luke, 1904- 1995, Jungian therapist and writer
Everyday
Life does not get in the way
It is the way
Rebecca Li, Chan meditation teacher
with nothing
The Absolute works with nothing.
The workshop, the materials are what do not exist.
Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it.
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
where something might be planted,
a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.
Rumi
