On Top

Love the Earth and sun and animals,

Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,

Stand up for the stupid and crazy,

Devote your income and labor to others...

Re-examine all you have been told at school or church on in any book;

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul;

And you very flesh shall be a great poem.

~Walt Whitman

Since everything is a reflection of our minds... Everything can be changed by our minds.

If you love a flower,  don't  pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and ceases to be what you love. So, if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

~ Osho

Pine in Granite

When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt, pain itself will crack the rock and ah! Let the soul emerge.

~ Rumi
