Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

Rumi

:

“The only reason we don’t open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don’t feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes.” Pema Chodrun

“The most fundamental aggression is to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.” Pema Chodrun

“My mind is a neighborhood. I try not to go in it alone.” Anne LaMott

“But you can’t get into any of these truths by sitting in a field beautifically, avoiding your anger and damage and grief. Your anger, and damage and grief are the way to the truth. We don’t have much truth unless we have gone into these rooms and closets and woods and abysses that we were told not to go into. When we have gone in and looked around for a while, just breathing and finally taking in, then we will be able to speak in our own voice and stay in the present moment. And that moment is home.” Anne LaMott

“I do not understand the mystery of grace- only that it meets us where we are and doesn’t leave us where it found us.” Anne LaMott

“ A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.” Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
