"Los ainos de la isla de Yezo (Japón) adoraban al dios oso. Cada vez que capturaban a un osezno, lo llevaban a la aldea y lo alimentaban y trataban como un hermano, hasta que crecía y podía herir a los humanos. Pasaba entonces a una jaula, y al cabo de dos o tres años era sacrificado con la idea de llevar un mensaje a sus hermanos osos en el otro mundo. Le pedían que les contara el buen trato recibido en la aldea" — 1 hour, 19 min ago

“We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.”

“All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.”

“Lose yourself,
Lose yourself in this love.
When you lose yourself in this love,
you will find everything.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Do not fear this loss,
For you will rise from the earth
and embrace the endless heavens.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Escape from this earthly form,
For this body is a chain
and you are its prisoner.
Smash through the prison wall
and walk outside with the kings and princes.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself at the foot of the glorious King. When you lose yourself
before the King
you will become the King.
Lose yourself,
Lose yourself.
Escape from the black cloud
that surrounds you.
Then you will see your own light
as radiant as the full moon.
Now enter that silence.
This is the surest way
to lose yourself. . . .
What is your life about, anyway?—
Nothing but a struggle to be someone,
Nothing but a running from your own silence.”
― Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved
