Happiness,
not in another place, but this place . . .
not for another hour, but this hour.
Walt Whitman

Not noticing
Sometimes the mountain
is hidden from me in veils
of cloud, sometimes
I am hidden from the mountain
in veils of inattention, apathy, fatique,
when I forget or refuse to go
down to the shore or a few yards
up the road, on a clear day,
to reconfirm
that witnessing presence.
Denise Levertov, Witness
Less is needed
If you feel that your dreams aren’t coming true, you might think that you need to do more, or to think and strategize more. In fact, what you might need is less – less noise coming to you from both inside and outside – so that you have the space for your heart’s truest intention to germinate and flourish.
Thich Nhat Hahn, Silence
A new month
Mysteriously, wonderfully,
I bid farewell to what goes, I greet what comes;
for what comes cannot be denied, and what goes cannot be detained.
Zhuang Zhou, 4th Century BCE
Doing and non-doing
remember,
you were a writer
before
you ever
put
pen to paper.
just because you were not writing
externally.
does not mean you were not writing
internally.
Nayyirah Waheed from Nejma
Sunday Quote: Constant practice
Your brain is not designed to make you happy.
That’s your job.
