 Listen to the mustn’ts, child.Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. ––Shel Silverstein Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of humans as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable ––Helen Keller Have you ever sat very silently, not with your attention fixed on anything, not making an effort to concentrate, but with the mind very quiet, really still? Then you hear everything, don’t you? You hear the far off noises, as well as those that are nearer, and those that are very close by, the immediate sounds--which means really that you are listening to everything. Your mind is not confined to one narrow little channel. If you can listen in this way, listen with ease, without strain, you will find an extraordinary change taking place within you, a change that comes without your volition, without your asking; and in that change there is great beauty and depth of insight. –– J. Krishnamurti Book of Life, The Daily Meditations Think about your work as a “lifelong pilgimage.” Work is as much about the journey of the soul through the world as it is developing a career and making money. ––David Whyte A lamp in a windless place does not flicker. ––Bhagavad Gita “This bridge will only take you halfway there, to those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, and moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wonderous worlds I’ve known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone.” ––Shel Silverstein While we do much of what we have to do on our own, companionship is essential if we are not to lose our way. It may even be the guidance we receive from a casual encounter with a stranger on a plane, the chance meeting with someone who brings the discomfort of ‘revelation.’ Sometimes we are given a relationship with someone for only a brief time. It is short-lived, but it has a particular purpose. ––Alan W. Jones, Soul Making: The Desert Way of Spirituality Time is swift, it races by; Opportunities are born and die... Still you wait and will not try - A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly. –– A. A. Milne Listen to the guidance within... make time for stillness and be receptive to what is being offered. It is your birthright to awaken... honor your total magnificent, multidimensional Self. ––Peggy Black The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you’ve gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you’ve gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you’ve gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him? ––Chuang Tzu Remember... energy follows thought. Watch your thoughts. Stay vigilant with your thoughts, your emotions, and your words. Each one carries a vibration. It is your responsibility to recognize and shift the energy signature you are offering to the collective consciousness. This is far more important than you realize. ––Peggy Black Our Nation’s greatest treasure is not housed in marble facade, but is at home playing with marbles. God Bless our children. ––Jill Roberts The Well of Grief Those who will not slip beneath the still surface on the well of grief turning downward through its black water to the place we cannot breathe will never know the source from which we drink the secret water, cold and clear nor find in the darkness glimmering the small round coins thrown by those who wished for something else. ––David Whyte Where Many Rivers Meet ©1990 Many Rivers Press It all depends upon how we look at things and not how they are themselves. ––Carl Jung In our Korean Zen Buddhist lineage, there is a library’s worth of crazy wisdom. People who appear to be wise aren’t. People who act crazy or sound crazy are in reality great teachers. Holy places are tourist traps. Tiny buildings tucked into the mountains are holy places. ––Geri Larkin, The Still Point Dhammapada Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ––Henry David Thoreau A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm. ––Charles Schwab If you love it enough, anything will talk to you. ––George Washington Carver When we bless the people or things that have hurt us, we’re temporarily suspending the cycle of pain... during the blessing, a doorway opens for us to begin our healing and move on with life. ––Gregg Braden, Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer I believe the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness... I believe that happiness can be achieved through training the mind. ––Dalai Lama One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love. ––Sophocles |
