Nothing But My Perception

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only
through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

Byron Katie

Discovering It Yourself

Even if I am right,
I rob you of discovering
it yourself.

Fritz Perls

A Careen, Not a Career

I don't want a career,
I want a careen.

Love is not a feeling,
it's an activity and
also a responsibility.

The Next Moment

You can plan for a hundred years.
But you don't know what will happen
the next moment.

Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji)

Where the Light Comes In

I said, "What about my eyes?"
God said, "Keep them on the road."
I said, "What about my passion?"
God said, "Keep it burning."
I said, "What about my heart?"
God said, "Tell me what you hold inside it."
I said, "Pain and sorrow."
He said, "Stay with it.

The wound is the place
where the light comes in."

Rumi

Consequences

In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments.
There are consequences.

Robert Green Ingersoll
