“Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.

This opening to life
we have refused
again and again
until now.

Until now.”
David Whyte, Where Many Rivers Meet

“Save all your energies and time for breaking the wall your mind has built around you.”
Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Gregory Boyle
“Compassion isn't just about feeling the pain of others; it's about bringing them in toward yourself. If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased. 'Be compassionate as God is compassionate,' means the dismantling of barriers that exclude.

In Scripture, Jesus is in a house so packed that no one can come through the door anymore. So the people open the roof and lower this paralytic down through it, so Jesus can heal him. The focus of the story is, understandably, the healing of the paralytic. But there is something more significant than that happening here. They're ripping the roof off the place, and those outside are being let in.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

“The poet Rumi writes, 'Find the real world, give it endlessly away, grow rich flinging gold to all who ask. Live at the empty heart of paradox. I’ll dance there with you—cheek to cheek.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

Juan Ramón Jiménez
“Don’t run, go slowly,
It is only to yourself that you have to go!
Go slowly, don’t run,
For the child of yourself, just born and eternal
Cannot follow you.”
Juan Ramón Jiménez
