When you look at the sun during your walking meditation, the mindfulness of the body helps you to see that the sun is in you; without the sun there is no life at all and suddenly you get in touch with the sun in a different way.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
The Beautiful Ordinary
The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are our biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity - then we will treat each one with greater respect. This is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective."
~ David Suzuki
Winter
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks your wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
~ Neil Gaiman
Well Worn
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.
~ Paulo Coelho
