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

David Whyte
“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

Tara Brach
“Is there anything I can do to make myself enlightened? As little as you can do to make the sun rise in the morning. Then of what use are the spiritual exercises you prescribe? To make sure you are not asleep when the sun begins to rise.”
Tara Brach, True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart

Juan Ramón Jiménez
“Los soles no decaen porque los contemplemos
en la niebla.”
Juan Ramón Jiménez, Leyenda

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
