It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.

Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered.

- Aldous Huxley (Island) -

 

 

 

Do not become the fluctuations

 of your mind 

Just observe them 

 

 

 

 

 

 The past was 

and has all been washed away.

Today is new. 

As never before

 

- Matt Kahn -

 

 

 You can't solve every problem with your intellect.

 Sometimes

 you have to stop thinking and start feeling.

 

 

 

 

I'm not a victim 

Whatever I went through 

I'm still here. 

 

 

TO DEFINE 

IS 

TO LIMIT 

- Oscar Wilde - 

 

 

Vooruitgang ontstaat    als onmogelijk    samenvalt    met noodzakelijk.

 

 

Note to me…

I am the one who talks to me in my darkest moments. I’m the only one who really knows my deepest fears and pains, and the inner turmoil I have suffered. I’m the one with the power to put myself down or build myself up with my inner self talk. Other people can support, hold, love, encourage, guide and teach me but I am still the most important person who can make the choice to always love and be there for me - and I will.

I’ll be there for me.

 

 

I can't belong to groups. 

I've tried.

 I behave normally, 

but people don't look at me normally..

.they expect everyone to be like them.

Als je geheimen verklapt aan de wind, 

kun je de wind niet verwijten 

dat hij ze doorgeeft aan de bomen. 

- Kahlil Gibran - 

 

 

We are like children building a sand castle. 

We embellish it with beautiful shells, bits of driftwood, and pieces of colored glass.

 The castle is ours, off limits to others. 

We’re willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. 

Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. 

trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea.

- Pema Chodron-

 

 

 

I urge you to please notice when you are happy,

 and exclaim or murmur or think at some point,

 “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”

- Kurt Vonnegut -

 

 

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;

Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’

Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;

Man got to tell himself he understand.
