What is required is a willingness to look
deeply at one's present moments,
no matter what they hold,
in a spirit of generosity,
kindness towards oneself,
and openness toward
what might be possible.
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.
~ Omar Khayyam
.
Happy are those who know:
Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;
And from that source alone, the Infinite
Crosses over to gladness, and us -
Free of our bridges
Built with the stone of distinctions;
So that always, within each delight,
We gaze at what is purely single and joined.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
