End of Insanity

That in you which recognizes madness as madness
(even if it is your own) is sanity,
is the arising awareness, is the end of insanity.

Eckhart Tolle

We See Things

We see things
not as they are,
but as we are.

Immanuel Kant

Experience the World

Experience the world
instead of talking about
experiencing the world.

Diego Rodriguez

Calming or Swimming

Sometimes God calms the storm.
At other times, He calms the sailor.
And sometimes He makes us swim.

The Way It Is

And that's the way it is.

Walter Cronkite

Less and Less

Less and less,
until things just are
what they are.

Lao-Tze

True Human Being

Of all the trails in this life,
there is one that matters
more than all the others.
It is the trail of
a true human being.

Searching for the Truth

Don't keep searching for the truth;
Just let go of your opinions.

Chinese sage Seng Ts'an

Transformations

What all myths have to deal with
is transformations of consciousness.
You have been thinking one way,
you now have to think a different way.
Consciousness is transformed either
by the trials themselves or
by illuminating revelations.
Trials and revelations are what it's all about.

Joseph Campbell

The One Less Traveled By

Two roads diverged in a wood

And I took the one less traveled by

And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

My Future

My future starts when
I wake up every morning.
Every day I find something
creative to do with my life.

Miles Davis
