Stillness Speaks

“A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you. When you become aware of silence, immediately there is a state of inner alertness. You are present. You have stepped out of years of collective human conditioning.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle

Presidents' Day

No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.  
~ Thomas Jefferson

Someone once said....

The three most difficult things for a human being are not physical feats or intellectual achievements.  They are, first, returning love for hate; second, including the excluded; third, admitting that you are wrong.  

Excerpt from Awareness - The Perils And Opportunities Of Reality by Anthony deMello

Reflection

“It is necessary ... for a man to go away by himself ... to sit on a rock ... and ask, 'Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?” ― Carl Sandburg

Acceptance

Acts of Kindness

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. 
-Dalai Lama
