“Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.”
― Eckhart Tolle
"Our freedom, peace, and joy in the present moment is the most important thing we have." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Do You Blame The Lettuce?
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
understand, and you show that you understand, you can
love, and the situation will change” - Thich Nhat Hanh
Eternal Oneness
“Consider your own place in the universal oneness of which we are all a part, from which we all arise, and to which we all return.” - David Fontana
