"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Your mind is telling you that you can not get there from here, something needs to happen or you need to become this or that before you can become free or fulfilled. It is saying in fact that you need time, that you need to find, sort out, do, achieve, acquire, become, or understand something before you can be free or complete. You see time as a means to salvation where as in truth it is the greatest obstacle to salvation. You think that you can’t get there from who and where you are at this moment because you’re not yet complete or good enough but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there. You get there by realizing that you are there already. Nothing that you could ever do or attain will get you closer to salvation than it is at this moment.
– Eckhart Tolle
God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
- Mother Teresa
Try to realize you are a divine traveler. You are here for only a little while, then depart for a dissimilar and fascinating world. Do not limit your thought to one brief life and one small earth. Remember the vastness of the Spirit that dwells within you.
- Paramahansa Yogananda
Truth is one....
paths are many.

Yes. Deep Acceptance.
What we resist, persists.
Resistance comes in many different forms.
Acceptance is a form of love. It’s transformative in the most gentle way.
- Narayana Baba
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences, When Love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction however and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. When the deep meaning of things is not understood the mind’s essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
