LATER

Don’t leave anything for later. 

Later, the coffee gets cold. 

Later, you lose interest. 

Later, the day turns into night. 

Later, people grow up.

 Later, people grow old.

 Later, life goes by. 

Later, you regret not doing something

 when you had the chance.

GRANDMA 'S WISDOM

 

 The times when you are suffering can be those when you are open, and where you are extremely vulnerable can be where your greatest strength really lies.

Say to yourself: “I am not going to run away from this suffering. 

I want to use it in the best and richest way I can, so that I can become more compassionate and more helpful to others.” 

Suffering, after all, can teach us about compassion. 

If you suffer, you will know how it is when others suffer. 

And if you are in a position to help others, it is through your suffering that you will find the understanding and compassion to do so.

GLIMPSE OF THE DAY

 

 Un mot et tout est sauvé 

 Un mot et tout est perdu 

- André Breton -

 

 

 As long as we hold onto our resentment, we can never forgive others, and our lack of forgiveness hurts no one but ourselves.

 To heal from our pain, there's no other alternative but to let go of our anger and forgive others. 

Forgiving simply means that we stop tying up our life's energy in being angry at a person. 

It does not mean saying their behavior was acceptable. 

We can still deem certain behavior to be wrong, injurious, or inappropriate. 

 Forgiving also doesn't mean being naive, letting others manipulate us, or ignoring problems.

 - Thubten Chodron -

The fall hurt like hell, 

but I found grace in the wounds 

and a version of me I never knew.

 I can do things you cannot 

You can do things I cannot; 

Together we can do great things.

You may be gone from my sight

but never away from my heart...

 

 

HET WONDER VAN ER ZIJN

 

 

 When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, 

you see all these different trees.

And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, 

and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever.

And you look at the tree and you allow it. 

You see why it is the way it is. 

You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, 

and so it turned that way.

And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it.

You appreciate the tree. 

The minute you get near humans, you lose all that.

And you are constantly saying, ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’

That judging mind comes in.

And so I practice turning people into trees. 

Which means appreciating them just the way they are.
