On a long journey, we may want to keep the ultimate destination in mind,
but it is good to take one day at a time and rest along the way.

If we want to relax our grip on self, we shouldn’t try too hard.
It is better to take a gentle approach.

Whatever steps we take, even if they are small,
the most important thing is to rejoice in those small steps;
then they become powerful.

Always we should appreciate what we are able to do,
and not feel bad about what we haven’t done.

Stephen Russell

Vulnerability is the only authentic state.
Being vulnerable means being open,
for wounding, but also for pleasure.

Being open to the wounds of life
means also being open to the bounty and beauty.
Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability:
it is your greatest asset.

Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it.
the new goodness that is coming to you,
in the form of people, situations, and things
can only come to you when you are vulnerable,
i.e. open.”

Geen tijd hebben voor bezinning,

is geen tijd hebben
om te kijken waar we heen gaan

omdat we het te druk hebben
met er te komen.

          “This life is yours.  
           Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well.

           Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly.


Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature.

Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you.

Take the power to make your life happy.”

life is great when
you believe in something bigger than
'yourself' in this world

jeff fink

as the first clouds of the coming storm

ride up and over the mountains, catching

 

and casting the gold of the late day sun,

while in the valleys arrayed to the east

 

deep cloud-shadows slide up and over

and around, caressing the long curves

 

of her hills, then fall away, smoothly

like the silk of her dress might slide

 

from the skin of a lover’s shoulder.

how can we not love her?

 

this earth. how can we not want

to lay ourselves across the soft rise

 

of her hills, want to lose ourselves

in the gathering shadows of her valleys,

 

imbed ourselves in the moist warmth

of her hollows? how can we not surrender

 

to the cries of her thunder, to the white

heat of her lightning, how

 

can we not abandon ourselves completely

to the dark and passionate embrace

 

of her terrible gathering storms?

it's funny how everybody considers honesty a virtue

yet, no one wants to hear the truth......

marjolijn de wilde

als iemand je opeens verlaat, blijft er een leegte in je achter.
sommige mensen geven de leegte al hun aandacht,
tot dat deze uiteindelijk hun hele leven beheerst.
anderen accepteren haar niet en negeren haar stomweg.
ze storten zich op willekeurig wat, en 
worden het slachtoffer van hun eenzaamheid.
 
ik niet.

 zodra een leegte in mij ontstaat,
vult ze zich met warmte en wisselende schaduwen,
tekens van troost, die me vertellen:
… dat ik met liefde heb geleefd en het leven van mij houdt …

 en de eenzaamheid wordt een vriendin.

c.s.lewis

love anything and your heart will be wrung, possibly broken

if you want to make sure of keeping it intact
you must give it to no one, not even an animal

wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries
avoid all entanglements
lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness

but in the casket -- safe, dark, airless, motionless -- it will change
it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable,
impenetrable, irredeemable

to love is to be vulnerable

paul verlaine

      O Belgique qui m'as valu ce dur loisir,
      Merci ! J'ai pu du moins réfléchir, et saisir,
      Dans le silence doux et blanc de tes cellules,
      Les raisons, qui fuyaient, comme des libellules,
      À travers les roseaux bavards d'un monde vain,
      Les raisons de mon être immortel et divin,
      Et les étiqueter, comme en un beau musée,
      Dans les cases en fin cristal de ma pensée.

antoine de saint-exupéry


vous êtes comme mon renard -

ce n'était qu'un renard semblable à cent mille autres,

mais j'en ai fait mon ami

et il est maintenant unique au monde.

Chögyam Trungpa

Openness doesn't necessarily mean that you have to make
yourself available to the other person all the time. Openness is knowing the situation -- if it's healthy and helpful to the other person to involve yourself with them or if it is more healthy not to involve yourself, if showing this kind of commitment is not healthy for the other person. It works both ways. Openness doesn't mean you have to take everything in at all; you have a right to reject or accept -- but when you reject you don't close your self; you reject the situation.

Whether you accept or reject it depends on whether it's a healthy
situation for the other person or not; it's not purely what they want.
Openness doesn't mean that you are doing purely what the other person wants. Their wantingness may not be particularly accurate....So you just work along with what's valuable there.
