We have the capability to discover our own internal rhythms through mindfulness practices…
and slowly, gently, kindly reconnecting with that spark of openness, clarity, and warmth
that is the centerless center of our being.

It
is not that you must be free from
fear. The moment you try
to free
yourself from fear, you create a resistance against
fear. Resistance, in any form,
does not end fear. What
is needed, rather
than running away or controlling or suppressing
or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch
it,
learn about it, come directly into contact
with it. We
are to learn about fear,
not how to escape from it, not how to
resist it through courage and so on.

Virginia Woolf (ca. 1917) door Roger Fry
No need to hurry.
No need to sparkle.
No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Abbey Lincoln: Throw It Away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you

When you plant seeds in the
garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted
yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the
seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and
cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content
creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re
ready.
