One should accept the truth from whatever source it proceeds. Maimonides

Mark Nepo brings it home again…

Often, when we think we’re building one thing, we’re building another, or we’re the ones being built. When we think we’re giving one thing, we’re often giving another, or we are the ones being given to.

Not to speak, is to speak. Not to act, is to act. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We’re never outside of life, but always in it. Nepo

Being kind to ourselves is a prerequisite to being kind to others. Honoring ourselves is the only lasting way to release a truly selfless kindness to others.

Totally hidden yet perfectly revealed…

What we accomplish and create matters. But we’re not defined by what we create. We’re defined by how the engagement of our being shapes and creates us. When we can honor this mystical fact, then we will continue to grow, regardless of what happens to what we create. Nepo

We have to become until we can be… Nepo

Enlightenment is intimacy with all things. Jack Kornfield

Extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary, Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond, and music is in both the flowing violin and the water dripping from the drainage pipe. The divine is under the porch as well as on top of the mountain, and joy is in both the front row and the bleachers. Mark Nepo
