Here is the thing about the future. 

Every time you look at it, it changes, 

because you looked at it, 

and that changes everything else.

- Cris Johnson in Next -

It sure is Frieda !

 

 

You imagine that your possessions protect you. 

In reality they make you vulnerable. 

Realize yourself as away from all 

that can be pointed at as ‘this’ or ‘that’. 

 

- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj -

 

‘Als je een vogel waarneemt,
en naar de veren, de kleuren, de snavel
en naar de afmetingen en de sierlijke vorm
van het vogeltje kijkt,
ben je er met je hele hart, geest en lichaam bij,
met alles wat je in je hebt kijk je er naar.

Dan ben je in feite één met dat vogeltje geworden.

Je geniet er werkelijk van.’

- Krishnamurti -

“There is a great choice that awaits us every day: 

 whether we go around carving holes in others 

because we have been so painfully carved ourselves, 

or whether we let spirit play its song through our tender experience, 

enabling us to listen, 

as well,

 to the miraculous music coming through others.”

De ware geboorte heeft niet plaats wanneer de moeder van het kind,

doch pas wanneer het kind van de moeder verlost wordt.

Jan Greshoff

That we go numb along the way is to be expected. Even the bravest among us, who give their lives to care for others, go numb with fatigue, when the heart can take in no more, when we need time to digest all we meet. Overloaded and overwhelmed, we start to pull back from the world, so we can internalize what the world keeps giving us.

Perhaps the noblest private act is the unheralded effort to return: to open our hearts once they’ve closed, to open our souls once they’ve shied away, to soften our minds once they’ve been hardened by the storms of our day.

They say that you can bear anything 

if you can tell a story about it.

- Susan Monk Kidd - 

So you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting
for someone
to bring you flowers.

There is no agony 

like bearing an untold story inside of you.

Wie altijd het beste van anderen denkt,

You are not "in the now"; you are the now. 

That is your essential identity-

-the only thing that never changes. 

Life is always now. 

Now is consciousness. 

And consciousness is who you are. 

That's the equation.

-Eckhart Tolle -

It's nice to know,

but not knowing 
is equally as valuable.

If they disrespect you, still respect them. 

Do not allow the actions of others 

to decrease your good manners,

 because you represent yourself, not others."

I AM FREE

I am free from
should and ought to
I am released from
comparison
expectation
obligation
I no longer need
to pretend
to be
a superhero
a perfect person
all-knowing
all-anticipating
the protector
I am free from
being always at the ready
being anxious about others’ needs
worry
I am free
from needing to be
anything other than
imperfect me

I AM FREE

“Calm in quietude is not real calm.
When you can be calm in the midst of activity,
this is the true state of nature. 

Happiness in comfort is not real happiness.
When you can be happy in the midst of hardship,
then you see the true potential of the mind.”
