Humanity must evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race...

"Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race. This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular. Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again. But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world. For those who hold to the old patterns, there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness. " -- Eckhart Tolle

Living from your real nature...

Stillness...

Today I wish all of you a moment in which absolutely nothing happens, when you can be still and hear nothing but the beautiful beat of your own heart. "
-- Lisa Borgnes Giramonti, A Bloombury Life

Tiny matters...
