Be aware of your breathing
Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking
and creates space.
Eckhart Tolle
Your anchor
Passing through
Inhabit this life completely
No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth, lest we remain unused.
Rainer Maria Rilke
where you are
The human mind has absolute freedom as its true nature
There are thousands upon thousands of students who have practiced meditation and achieved this realisation.
Do not doubt this possibility because of the simplicity of the method.
If you cannot find the truth where you are, where do you think you will find it?
Dogen
Sunday Quote: imposing your preferences
Allow life to unfold without trying to force it into the shape imagined by the mind.
Work at allowing more things to unfold in your life
without forcing them to happen
and without rejecting the ones that don’t fit your idea of
what “should” be happening.
Jon Kabat Zinn, Wherever you go, There you Are
Among the trees
I go among the trees and sit still.
All my stirring becomes quiet
around me like circles on water.
My tasks lie in their places
where I left them, asleep like cattle.
Wendell Berry I Go Among Trees and Sit Still
