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

Days End
When a man no longer confuses himself with the definition of himself that others have given him, he is at once universal and unique. He is universal by virtue of inseparability of his organism from the cosmos. He is unique in that he is just this organism and not any stereotype of role, class, or identity assumed for the convenience of social communication.
~ Alan Watts
Bench
Empty yourself of everything
Let the mind become still
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
~ Tao Te Ching vs 16
