“Simplicity, Patience, Compassion. These Three Are Your Greatest Treasures. Simple In Actions And Thoughts,

We are the sky

All the rest is weather.

Misquoted from Pema Chödrön and darling BB or Bellissima Belinda

Up Down and everything in-between

"Nature is playful and terrible. Some see the playful side and dally with it and let it sparkle. Others see the horror and cover their heads and are more dead than alive. The way does not lead between both, but embraces both. It is both cheerful play and cold horror."

C. G. Jung. “The Red Book”, p. 288, footnote 141

‘Ant on a stone mill’, by Zen Master Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769).

“Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything—not just wealth. All the bullshit he’s been taught—all society’s brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren’t willing to do that.”

The drums went silent

The stage is bare

No more a touch of elegance

In the Rolling thunder

Of Orphaned Stones
