“If you can see it, hear it, feel it, taste it, touch it, or smell it, you can be present with it. It is of the present moment, and so it brings to you the opportunity to be present with it.”
Leonard Jacob
“I long as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself”
Maya Angelou
“Every day is my best day; this is my life; I am not going to have this moment again.”
Bernie Siegel
“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
“What’ for breakfast? said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
“It’s the same thing,” he said.
Poo and Piglet
“This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.”
Hafiz
“Let go of the idea that the path will lead you to your goal. The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: ‘I’ve arrived.’ That way you’ll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day.”
Paulo Coelho
“We buy books, we go to gyms, we expend a lot of brain power on trying to hold back time, when we should be celebrating the miracle of being here in this world.”
Paulo Coelho
“If you remember nothing else, always remember this one great secret of spiritual practice: we don’t have to feel any particular way. We don’t have to have special experiences, nor do we have to be any particular way. With whatever arises, whether it’s pleasing or not, try to remember that all we can do is experience and work with whatever our life is right now. No matter what life is and no matter how we feel about it, all that matters in practice is whether we can honestly acknowledge what is going on, and then stay present with the physical experience of that moment.”
Ezra Bayda
“The miracle is not to walk on water but to walk on earth.”
Titch Nath Hanh
Listen – life is really going on, right now,
around us. Do you see it? Sometimes I lose it
but if I sit still and listen, it comes back,
and then I think, How funny, this is what being alive is.
Robin Morgan
“WE can make our minds so like clear water that beings
gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images,
and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even
with a fiercer life, because of our quiet.
W B Yeats
“When your attention moves into the Now, there is an alertness. It is as if you were waking up from the dream of thought, the dream of past and future. Such clarity, such simplicity. No room for problem making. Just this moment as it is.
Eckhart Tolle
“Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.”
David Byrne
“ How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives.”
