Without Your Story

Just be here now
without your story.

Byron Katie

Just to be Alive

It is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in the broken world.

Mary Oliver

The Best There Is

This right here is already, and has always been,
the very best we can be.
As is.
We can't be more than we are.
We can't do more than we can.
Luckily, existence doesn't, and hasn't ever,
needed a thing more from us.
Couch or boardroom - this is it.
Our best, fullest potential to be, to live, to exist
- right here, already.
Not later, Now.
We might enjoy it.
Because this simply is
the best
there is.

Judy Cohen

Here I Am

Maybe
Just maybe
Life unfolds
Relentlessly
With no holy plan
Maybe
It is sacred
Just as it is
Its power and innocence
Require no justification
Its perfection requires no meaning
Maybe nothing
Means anything
Other than what the Rose
Means
When it blooms
It means
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am

Maya Luna

Deep Sense of Who You Are

You rarely have time for everything
you want in this life, so you need to
make choices. And hopefully your choices
can come from a deep sense of who you are.

Fred Rogers

Inexpressible Comfort

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words,
but to pour them all out,
just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand
will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then,
with a breath of kindness,
blow the rest away.

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

My Job

My job is just to be
comfortable where I am.

All That Is There

Why should life have any meaning?
Why should there be any purpose to living?
Living itself is all that is there.
Your search for spiritual meaning has 
made a problem out of life.

U.G. Krishnamurti

Unique Individuals

By using the models of Jesus, Buddha, or Krishna,
we have destroyed the possibility of nature
throwing up unique individuals.

U.G. Krishnamurti

No Control

Just let it be. You may as well; it is.
Everything moves in and out at its
own time. You have no control.
You never did; you never will.

Byron Katie

Not Yet

In carrying on my own humble creative effort,
I depend greatly upon that which I do not yet know,
and upon that which I have not yet done.

Max Weber

It Doesn't Matter

It doesn't matter, and
it doesn't matter that
it doesn't matter.

Eastern Saying

Our Abundance

Not what we have,
but what we enjoy,
constitutes our abundance.

Epicurus
