We must be willing

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

~Joseph Campbell

We don't always know

We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail...We are mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the original self is the language of the heart.

~Julia Cameron

Get up

Get up and make an effort. Don't lie around like a bum.

He who throws himself at the Beloved's feet is like a workhorse and will be rewarded with boundless pastures and eternal rest.

~Hafiz

Every blade of grass

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow, grow."

~Talmud

Peace

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.

~unknown

When our eyes see

When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of creation is completed within us, the doors of our souls fly open, and love steps forth to heal everything in sight.

~Michael Bridge

There is no difference

There is no difference in the destination,
the only difference is in the journey.

~Inayat Khan

In the pursuit

In the pursuit of learning,
every day something is acquired.
in the pursuit of Tao,
every day something is dropped.

~Lao Tzu

I see now

I see now
that all creatures
have perfect enlightenment
- but they do not know it.

~Buddha
