“I'm alive," he said to the boy, as they ate a bunch of dates one night, with no fires and
no moon. "When I'm eating, that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just
concentrate on marching. If I have to fight, it will be just as good a day to die as any
other.
"Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present.
If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that
there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesmen fight
because they are part of the human race. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival,
because life is the moment we're living right now.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“والله ما طلعت شمسٌ ولا غربت
إلا و حبّـك مقـرون بأنفاسـي
ولا خلوتُ إلى قوم أحدّثهــم
إلا وأنت حديثي بين جلاســي
ولا ذكرتك محزوناً و لا فَرِحا
إلا وأنت بقلبي بين وسواســـي
ولا هممت بشرب الماء من عطش
إلا رَأَيْتُ خيالاً منك في الكـــأس
ولو قدرتُ على الإتيان جئتـُكم
سعياً على الوجه أو مشياً على الرأس
ويا فتى الحيّ إن غّنيت لي طربا
فغّنـني وأسفا من قلبك القاســـي
ما لي وللناس كم يلحونني سفها
ديني لنفسي ودين الناس للنـــاس”
― الحلاج

“Let us remember that all that we love of life can be accessed only now. All we seek is here, with us and available to us in this moment. All the real riches—love, passion, joy, satisfaction, harmony—are available now on the menu of the mind, available for us to savor should we awake and order them. All that we seek to become is also here; we can choose what role we want to play and how we will direct life’s energies in each moment. Should we learn to direct our awareness and power in all we do, then discontent shall disappear and a vital energy will return. We will sense a vibrancy unfathomable to most men and women of this Earth. For this, let us declare: We Shall Meet Life with Full Presence and Power.”
