Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 per cent
Of everything you think,
And of everything you do,
Is for yourself –
And there isn’t one.

Peace is Present
Peace is Present Peace is present right here and
now, in ourselves and in
everything we do and see. The
question is whether or not we are
in touch with it. We don’t have to
travel far away to enjoy the blue
sky. We don’t have to leave our
city or even our neighborhood to
enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child.
Even the air we breathe can be a
source of joy.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh -
Poetry, Beauty, Romance, Love
Poetry, Beauty, Romance, Love We don’t read and write poetry
because it’s cute. We read and
write poetry because we are
members of the human race.
And the human race is filled
with passion. And medicine, law,
business, engineering, these are
noble pursuits and necessary to
sustain life. But poetry, beauty,
romance, love, these are what
we stay alive for.~ Robin Williams as John Keating,
Dead Poets Society (1989) -
Words and Ideas
Words and Ideas No matter what
people tell you,
words and ideas
can change the
world.

Wholeness
Wholeness Life is a vast, unknowable movement of wholeness with no one separate from it and nothing outside of it.
