Daily Zen - Monday, March 18


We are not here to have someone else's 
experience. We are here to have our own 
vivid experience. So please don't cling to 
yesterday, to what happened, to what did not
happen. And do not judge today by yesterday. 
Let us just live today to the fullest.

~ Maurine Stuart

Most things will be okay eventually,
but not everything will be. Sometimes
you'll put up a good fight and lose.
Sometimes you'll hold on really hard
and realize there is no choice but to 
let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.

~ Cheryl Strayed

If wrinkles must be written 
on our brows, let them not 
be written upon the heart. 
The spirit should never grow old.

A person who is beginning to sense 
the suffering of life is, at the same time, 
beginning to awaken to deeper realities...
suffering smashes to pieces the complacency 
of our normal fictions...and forces us to 
come alive ...to see carefully, to feel deeply, 
to touch ourselves and our worlds in ways 
we have heretofore avoided.

~ Ken Wilber

How far that little candle
throws its beams!
So shines a good deed

Never be a prisoner 
of your past. 
It was just a lesson,

Where you stumble, there lies your

to enter turns out to be the source of 
what you are looking for.

denying, making 
things up.

trying to swim upstream and
begin to flow with the current,
something changes within us.
