The mind of the past

The mind of the past is ungraspable;
the mind of the future is ungraspable;
the mind of the present is ungraspable.

~Diamond Sutra

We must

We must embrace the affirmative.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

When

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."

~Charles Beard

You must

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

~Henry David Thoreau

Wherever you are

"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are."

~Julia Cameron

Who

"Who you really are is enough."

~Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Everything you need

"Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else."

~Wayne Dyer

To test life

To test life, to allow life itself to lead you and to care for you, is not a parlor game. In order to move into your way, you may have to put everything on the line.

~Rick Jarow

A wise man

A wise man will never impawn his future being and action, and decide beforehand what he shall do in a given extreme event. Nature and God will instruct him in that hour.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Letting go

Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do. It is also the most fruitful. To heal means to meet ourselves in a new way -- in the newness of each moment where all is possible and nothing is limited to the old.

~Stephen Levine

What you bring forth

What you bring forth out of yourself from the inside will save you. What you do not bring forth out of yourself from the inside will destroy you.

~Gospel of Thomas
