To the quiet mind all things are possible. What is a quiet mind? A quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of God and dead to its own – Meister Eckhart

Posted in Quote of the Day
← At any given time, we’re thinking a myriad of thoughts, perhaps about what happened before, what’s going to happen later, that awful thing so-and-so said about us. The Buddhists call this kind of thinking the jumping monkey. Thoughts race at one hundred miles an hour, but just because a thought enters your awareness doesn’t mean you have to nourish it with your attention. To create space for a miracle, tame that jumping monkey. Spend a few minutes in stillness. If your mind jumps, sit still anyway. Practice stillness so you begin to establish a center, a point from which you can perceive and move and recognize that empty place – Mary Manin MorrisseyMoney may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness – Henrik Ibsen →
