Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Perhaps this is off topic, perhaps not. But it gave me something to think about and a new way of seeing things. " Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred. " -Thich Nhat Hanh, " Miracle of Mindfulness " " The only rational way of educating is to be an example- if one can't help it, a warning example. " -Albert Einstein.
