As I look at myself, I clearly see that the pattern I usually call “self” is transient, not real self but rather conditioned self. There is something else underneath. I come anew to the question of wishing to see my awareness.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does.

Thank you, The Awakened Eye for the quote.
In Silence
Who are you?
Who
are you? Whose
silence are you?
Who (be quiet)
are you (as these stones
are quiet). Do not
think of what you are
still less of
what you may one day be.
Rather
be what you are (but who?)
be the unthinkable one
you do not know.
~Thomas Merton,
from “In Silence”
Thank you, Love is A Place & Life Love Yoga.
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?
Ray Bradbury. Thank you, Whiskey River.
