“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know

“If there is any kernel of truth in the religions we so deplore,and they are just a carnival of errors,the truth is that it's possible to sink into the present moment in such a way as to find it sacred and to cease to have a problem.”
― Sam Harris

“Our habitual failure to recognise thought as thought, our habitual identification with discursive thought, is the primary source of human suffering.”
― Sam Harris

“Birdle Burble


I went out of mind and then came to my senses

By meeting a magpie who mixed up his tenses,

Who muddled distinctions of nouns and of verbs,

And insisted that logic is bad for the birds.

With a poo-wee cluck and a chit, chit-chit;

The grammar and meaning don't matter a bit.



The stars in their courses have no destination;

The train of events will arrive at no station;

The inmost and ultimate Self of us all

Is dancing on nothing and having a ball.

So with a chat for chit and with tat for tit,

This will be that, and that will be It!

(poem for James Broughton)”
― Alan Watts
