Do everything with a mind

that lets go.

 

Don't accept praise or gain

or anything else.

 

If you let go a little you will have a

little peace;

 

if you let go a lot you will have

a lot of peace;

 

if you let go completely you will have

complete peace.

 

Ajahn Chah

 

 

 

" The more we create,

the more we love and lose those whom we love,

the more we escape from death.

 

With every new work we round and finish,

we escape into the work we have created,

the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.

 

When all is told,

Rome is not in Rome;

the best of a man lies outside himself. "

The same stream of life

that runs through the world

runs through my veins

night and day in rhythmic measure.

 

It is the same life that shoots in joy

through the dust of the earth

into numberless waves of flowers. "

 

Rabindranath Tagore

 

 

" All who have meant good work

with their whole hearts,

have done good work,

although they may die

before they have the time to sign it.

 

Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully

has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world,

and bettered the tradition of mankind. "

 

Robert Louis Stevenson

 

 

 

" God creates each soul differently,

so that when all the mud is finally cleared away,

His light will shine through it

in a beautiful, colorful, totally new pattern. "

finished. That will be the beginning.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

 

Mahatma Gandhi

 

 

 

 

People deal too much with the negative,

with what is wrong...

Why not try and see positive things,

to just touch those things

and make them bloom?

 

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

 

 

 

" The world exists, not for what it means

but for what it is.

The purpose of mushrooms

is to be mushrooms;

wine is in order to be wine:

things are precious before they are contributory. "

Keep me away from the wisdom

which does not cry,

the philosophy

which does not laugh

and the greatness

which does not bow before children.

" Our greatest glory is not in never falling,

But in rising every time we fall. "

 

Confucius.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To understand the present

with its full, rich significance,

the mind must free itself

from the habit

of self-protecting acquisition;

 

when it is utterly naked,

then there is immortality.

 

Krishnamurti
