Where Does Happiness Come From?

“Our danger is to think that happiness will come from outside of us, from the things we possess or the power of our group, and not from within us, from the inner sanctuary of our being.” ~ Jean Vanier

Living The Questions

"Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek for the answers that cannot be given. For you wouldn't be able to live with them. And the point is to live everything, live the questions now, and perhaps without knowing it, you will live along some day into the answers." ~ Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke

Sensitivity

"Sensitivity is intuition. Sensitivity is compassion. Sensitivity is love. Sensitivity is real strength: calmness, endurance, silence, non-reactiveness, confidence, faith and a smile."

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Einstein's Religion

“Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious.” - Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~ Plato

Be like the willow tree...

“As trite as this may sound, it's simply true--
we are all on a journey--and traveling, as we know, is not always easy. 
Along the way, however, there are good things to be had, and it's seems that the little things end up mattering the most--it's just the plain and simple truth.
 We can be OK in each day as long as we bend like the willow tree.”
