The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.


~ Kahlil Gibran ~

I like that quote Lula, I am very fond of Kahlil Gibran.



McClunger, what happens if all you have is lemons, no sugar, no booze?

We are so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it's all about.

"There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally of course, there are times that are cold, and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are."

Chogyam Trungpa

The moment one gives close attention to everything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificant world in itself.

This is very true, but only if your eyes are open to the reality of what you see.

A couple of inspiring quotations from Joseph Campbell!

starry

The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy - not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. this requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called followinng your bliss.


The adventure of the hero is the adventure of being alive.

"Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours et toujours leur donner des explications."

"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." (Antoine de Saint Exupéry, Le Petit Prince)

Not translated by me I'm afraid, but even with my sketchy French I can recognise the lyrical beauty of the original language. I recently bought a copy of The Little Prince for a friend who's a Quaker and all round good egg and I hope he'll be inspired by the little, beautiful book.

A favourite book of mine too, Sprocket. There is so much beauty in it.


Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
starry

Here is my secret. It is very simple: One sees well only with the heart; the essential is invisible to the eyes.

"People where you live," the little prince said, "grow five thousand roses in one garden... yet they don't find what they're looking for..."
"They don't find it," I answered.
"And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."
"Of course," I answered.
And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.
