Go the extra mile it is never crowed

"To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past, or responsibly plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~

 “Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.” ~Paramahansa Yogananda
 


“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.” ~Eckhart Tolle

“Learn how to see, realize that everything connects to everything else.”
~Leonardo Da Vinci~

You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are transforming and continuing in a different form at every moment.
~Thich Nhat Hanh~

 

Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others,
Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people.

Re-examine all you have been told
in school or church or in any book,
Dismiss whatever insults your own soul;
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.

~ Walt Whitman ~
Preface to Leaves of Grass, 1855 edition

Realize that the sun will always rise at sunrise, the stars will always be there in the sky, the moon will be the shining light of twilight and love will always be born and remain from inside. Finding ourselves mirrored from the sky above, We flow in the open sea, Nothing here concerns us only love, Because we are lovers washed ashore from the ocean of our innermost dreams. Calling for peace and harmony, Within ourselves a love to see, With depths that remain in our hearts, An eternal sunshine that never parts. You be the sun and I'll be the moon, Just let your light come shining through, And when darkness comes soon, I'll shine the light back to you. Patrick.
