Alles blijft
Daar stond een muur die ik heb aangeraakt.
De muur werd afgebroken. Van het puin
werd verderop een fundament gemaakt.
Ik plantte een fruitboom in mijn oude tuin.
Die werd geasfalteerd. Vijf meter diep
Houdt zich een wortelstronk nog grommend koest.
Vijf eeuwen lang desnoods. De Spaanse griep
Landt ooit op Mars omdat ik heb gehoest.
Er was een vriend aan wie ik heb geschreven,
Een rots waar ik mijn naam in heb gekerfd.
Je bent een deel van alles bij je leven
En alles blijft bestaan wanneer je sterft.

Imagine that you are having difficulties with a loved one, such as your mother or father, husband or wife, lover or friend.
How helpful and revealing it can be to consider the other person not in his or her “role” of mother or father or husband, but simply as another “you,” another human being, with the same feelings as you, the same desire for happiness, the same fear of suffering.
Thinking of the other one as a real person, exactly the same as you, will open your heart to him or her and give you more insight into how to help.

We may ask, "What is wisdom?" It is our life itself.
We not only have that wisdom, we are constantly using it.
When we are cold, we put on more clothing.
When hungry, we eat.
When sad, we cry.
Being happy, we laugh.
That's wisdom.
The seasons change, the stars shine in the sky, it's all wisdom.
Regardless of whether we realize it or not, we are always in the middle of the Way.
We are nothing but the Way itself.

Nobody Told Me John Lennon
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

Neem alles niet zo persoonlijk.
Niets van wat anderen doen
heeft met jou te maken.
Wat anderen zeggen en doen
is een projectie van hun eigen realiteit,
hun eigen droom.
Wanneer je immuun bent
voor de opinies en acties van anderen,
hoef je geen slachtoffer meer te zijn
van nodeloos lijden."
- Don Miguel Ruiz -
