“The purpose of walking meditation is walking meditation itself. Going is important, not arriving.” The same is true for Creativity 1A. The same is true for journal writing. When you are in the flow of creation, you are here—going, walking, writing, but always here. The reason so many people block themselves from writing, from creating, is that they are not here. They have a head full of blueprints for the goal, they have elaborate outlines of how to get there, but they have never taken a conscious walk from their bedroom to their bathroom.”
Burghild Nina Holzer, A Walk Between Heaven and Earth: A Personal Journal on Writing and the Creative Process

“Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.”
Adam Lindsay Gordon

Alexandra Fuller
“What is important is the story. Because when we are all dust and teeth and kicked-up bits of skin - when we're dancing with our own skeletons - our words might be all that's left of us.”
Alexandra Fuller, Scribbling the Cat

Pema Chödrön
“Tonglen practice (and all meditation practice) is not about later, when you get it all together and you’re this person you really respect. You may be the most violent person in the world—that’s a fine place to start. That’s a very rich place to start—juicy, smelly. You might be the most depressed person in the world, the most addicted person in the world, the most jealous person in the world. You might think that there are no others on the planet who hate themselves as much as you do. All of that is a good place to start. Just where you are—that’s the place to start.”
Pema Chödrön, Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
Albert Schweitzer
