Throwing Time Away
Yesterday, as I was walking along the shore, I found myself becoming more and more present. I wanted that, because that’s where joy is and that's the whole point. And also because when my old and somewhat stiff body is telling me its troubles, savoring the beauty around me makes the physical discomfort secondary.
Increasingly present, I found myself noticing and admiring more and more of nature’s Read more of this blog post »

quote
“If people took some simple pleasure in reality (which is entirely independent of time), they would never have needed to come up with the idea that they could ever again lose anything with which they had truly bonded. No constellation is as steadfast, no accomplishment as irrevocable as a connection between human beings which, at the very moment it becomes visible, works more forcefully in those invisible depths where our existence is as lasting as gold lodged in stone, more constant than a star.”

“I tried to hold on to this solid cliff
like a place to hide and stay
but even there you found me
your waves loosened my grip
your waters washed me down
I am becoming a current in your ocean

it crumbles away and apart
it falls and disappears
into You”

“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.”
