Nothing can make you happier than you are. All search for happiness is misery and leads to more misery. The only happiness worth the name is the natural happiness of conscience beings.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Trickle
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.
~Pema Chodron
Clump
We already have everything we need. There is no need for self improvement. All these trips we lay on ourselves, the heavy duty fearing that we're bad and hoping that we're good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy, and the addictions of all kinds- never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye from being fully awake.
~ Pema Chodron 'Start where you are: A Guide to Compassionate Living'
Awake
...Eternity has no length, and the nearest thing to it in our experience is what we call present moment. It cannot be measured but it is always here.
~ Alan Watts
