manifest in our lives

Daily Zen - Thursday, November 14

Meditation is to be aware of every thought and

every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, 

but just to watch it and move with it. 

In that watching, you begin to understand the 

whole movement of thought and feeling. 

And out of this comes silence.

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Daily Zen - Wednesday, November 13

Some come and leave, fulfilling a

single purpose; others, for a time or

a season to teach us by sharing their

experiences; and last, a select few who

participate forever with relationships

that endure through eternity.

~ Jaren L. Davis

The thing that is really hard,

and really amazing, is giving

up on being perfect and beginning

the work of becoming yourself.

Weekend Zen, November 9-10

Every day you may make progress.

Every step may be fruitful. Yet, there

will stretch out before you an ever-

lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving

path. You know you will never get to the end

of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging,

only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

~ Albert Camus

highly personal. It can't be organized

or regulated. It isn't true that 

everyone should follow one path. 

Listen to your own truth.

but what we enjoy

constitutes our abundance.

Weekend Zen, November 2-3

If we sit quietly, making no effort,

life expresses itself clearly; 

it simply happens on its own. 

There's nothing else to get. 

The great truth is obvious.

The heart beats; the breath comes and goes.

~ Darryl Bailey

When I let go 

of what I am,

I become what

I might be.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what have into enough,

and more...it can turn a meal 

into a feast, a house into a home,

a stranger into a friend.

you can give another 

is the purity 

of your attention.

When you try to understand everything,

you will not understand anything. 

The best way is to understand yourself,

and then you will understand everything.
