“It’s not that we have to quit
this life one day, but it’s how
many things we have to quit
all at once: music, laughter,
the physics of falling leaves,
automobiles, holding hands,
the scent of rain, the concept
of subway trains... if only one
could leave this life slowly!”

Hope begins in the dark,

the stubborn hope

that if you just show up and try to do the right thing,

the dawn will come...

You wait and watch and work:

you don't give up.

The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won’t succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.

Oordelen kan altijd nog:

hoe minder ik vind,

hoe meer ik ontdek.

Als we willen dat onze kinderen zichzelf goedkeuren,

moeten ze kunnen zien dat wij onszelf goedkeuren.

Als we volharden in dit gebrek aan zelfrespect

en vervolgens van onze kinderen verlangen

dat ze zichzelf respecteren,

is het alsof we al hun botten breken en dan eisen

dat ze Olympisch goud winnen

op de honderd-metersprint.

Schandelijk.

The great lesson from the true mystics, from the zen monks, from the humanistic and transpersonal psychologists, is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one’s daily life, in one’s neighbors, friends, and family, in one’s own back yard. This lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.
