When we ignore the question of the impact our actions have on others' well-being, inevitably we end up hurting them.~ The Dalai Lama

"How cold and gloomy the weather is today! It is something like the atmosphere that envelopes a materialistic person at the time of death. They slip from this world into what seems a heavy mist. Nothing is clear to them; and for a time they feel lost and afraid. Then, in accordance with their karma, they either move on into the bright astral world to learn spiritual lessons, or they sink into a stupor until the right karmic moment arrives for them to be reborn on Earth. The consciousness of one who loves God, is not disturbed by the transition from this world to the next. They effortlessly enter a realm of light, love, and joy."- Paramahansa Yogananda

Sunday, at my house on a hill
"To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring — it was peace."
Milan Kundera "I am convinced that there are times in everybody’s experience when there is so much to be done, that the only way to do it is to sit down and do nothing." Fanny Fern |
The wealth of the soul is the only true wealth.

We need a reason for speaking; we need none for keeping silent.

Thinking brings us to the foot of the mountain; faith brings us to the top.

You sing, and your voice peels the husk of the day's grain, your song with the sun and sky, the pine trees speak with their green tongue: All the birds of the winter whistle. The sea fills its cellar with footfalls, with bells, chains, whimpers, the tools and the metal's jangle, wheels of the caravan creak. But I hear only your voice, your voice soars with the zing and precision of an arrow, it drops with gravity of rain, Your voice scatters the highest swords and returns with its cargo of violets: it accompanies me through the sky. ~ Pablo Neruda |
By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.
~Roger Ascham |
We are lost and wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning. Real values can have meaning to us only when we step on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use.
~Sai Baba |
Self-trust is the first secret of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a beautiful thing
"Do not let Sunday be taken from you. For if your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.”
~ Albert Schweitzer |
“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.” Anais Nin

"...Weather abroad
And weather in the heart alike come on Regardless of prediction." ~Adrienne Rich/"Storm Warnings" |

I hate ruts. Ruts are common, unimaginative, and oh, so boring.
I know because I've spent time in them. Actually, I even took up emotional residence in a couple. To make them more comfortable, I even decorated them. I adorned the walls with excuses: "I can't," "I tried," and "I don't wanna." Those are just a few of the plagues, I mean plaques, I hung in my ruts. Patsy Clairmont |
You're only given a little spark of madness....You mustn't lose it.
