You're Free

Aging gives you a new curriculum.
It gives you creative space, because
to the culture, you're becoming irrelevant
and as soon as you become irrelevant,
you're free.

Ram Dass

Not Contented

He who is not contented
with what he has, would
not be contented with what
he would like to have.

Socrates

Like a Lion

The truth is like a lion.
You don't have to defend it.
Let it loose; it will defend itself.

Augustine of Hippo

The Ground for Existence

Space is not empty. It is full,
as opposed to a vacuum, and
is the ground for the existence
of everything, including ourselves.

David Bohm

Make Them Laugh

If you want to tell people the truth,
make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Oscar Wilde

Empty Existence

A life filled up with being somebody
is an empty existence.

Wu Hsin

The End of All Drama

When you live in complete acceptance of what is,
that is the end of all drama in your life.

Eckhart Tolle
