Practice sitting like a mountain sometime,
allowing all images and feelings and sensations to come and go as you reside in steadfastness, watching it all arise and pass away.
This is an image of equanimity
We feel everything, without exception, and we relate to it through our own strength of awareness, not through habitual reactions
Sharon Salzberg
The soul has an absolute, unforgiving need for
regular excursions into enchantment.
It requires them like the body needs food and the mind needs thought.
Thomas Moore
Decisions,
not conditions,
determine what a person is
Viktor Frankl
The hardest thing I’ve learned,
and still struggle with,
is that I don’t have to be finished in order to be whole.
Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening
It is the beauty within us that makes it possible to recognize the beauty around us.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
Let go of that which is ahead of you,
let go of that which has already gone,
and let go of the in-between.
If you have a heart that takes hold nowhere
you arrive at the place beyond all suffering
Dhammapada, 348
