Come, come

“Come, come, whoever you are
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving,
Ours is no caravan of despair,
Even if you have broken your vow a thousand times,
Come, yet again, come ...”

~ adapted from Rumi

If you

If you put something off long enough,
the desire, the energy, and the drive to do it will disappear.

Choice is an illusion

“Choice is an illusion. Do I do this – do I do that – all of this is confusion. I can only choose when I’m confused. When I know clearly, there is no choice.”

~unknown

At times

"At times I feel like a living experiment, an alchemist's vessel in which a marvelous, although sometimes painful, mystery is unfolding."

~ Richard Moss

A theory

“A theory is more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premise, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended its range of applicability…”

-Einstein

In the sky

In the sky, there is no distinction between East and West;
people create distinctions in their own minds
and then believe them to be true.

~Buddha

He who experiences

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

~Buddha

This body

This body is not a home but an inn, and that only briefly.

~Seneca
