Grant us prudence in proportion to our power,
wisdom in proportion to our science,
humaneness, in proportion to our wealth and might.

- Thomas Merton

‍

If you want to be wise, be happy at home, and cheerful with guests.
Cultivate wisdom, a good memory, and eloquence, and speak kind words often.
You'll be called a fool if you can't say much- that's the mark of the unwise.

-Hãvamãl

Things are that are painful must be brought out to the open in faced,

become the cause of so much suffering.

What goes into your mouth cannot defile you, But what comes out can.

- Jesus

‍

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon Earth, were moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The light of the body is the eye:
If therefore your eye be single, that whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If, therefore, the light that is in the darkness, how great is that darkness!

- Matthew VI

The Dream of Secret Intention

You are no longer innocent.
You are no longer a child.
Now it is up to you to choose what to believe and what to not believe.
You can choose to believe in anything, and that includes believing in yourself.
The first step is to become aware of the fog in your mind.
If you have the awareness that the whole drama of your life is in the result of which you believe,
what you believe is not real, then you can begin to change it.

- Miguel Ruiz

‍

Abiding joy comes to those who steel the mind.
With consciousness unified through meditation,
they see everything with an equal eye.

-Bhagavad Gita

‍

The present is so precious and fleeting...

-Pema Chödrön

Man's needs change, but not his love, nor his desire that his love should satisfy his needs.

Words From The Front

We don’t look as young
as we used to
except in the dim light
especially in
the soft warmth of candlelight
when we say          
in all sincerity
You’re so cute
and
You’re my cutie.
Imagine
two old people
behaving like this.
It’s enough
to make you happy.

-Ron Padgett

‍

Some days I am larger than
the flesh and bones that carry me.
Other days, I am smaller than
the pores that lay within this skin.
The figure that stands before you
is not a testament to my true size.
I'm not to be judged by eyes alone.

-Raquel Franco

‍

The soul at dawn is like dark and water that slowly begins to say
Thank you, thank you.
