If you can't fly, run
If you can't run, walk
If you can't walk, crawl
Whatever you do, keep going.

"You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl?" ~ Rumi

"Each second of life is a miracle."
~ Thich Nhat Hahn



Reality doesn't judge, thoughts do.

Thoughts are constructions, symbols.
Reality just Is, prior to thought.

We are Perfect just the way we are.
What thoughts come up with is another matter.

Thoughts are useful and serve a wonderful function, yet they aren't absolutely True.

The map is not the actual territory.

Thoughts don't define us,
we are the 'ever-present Witness' behind.

A powerful change of perspective!

One lense leads to wholeness, love and peace.
The other to fragmentation, fear and suffering. ️

Daily meditation can help with approaching the first by letting the mind settle in its source, 'Awareness'.

Have a wonderful day.

There are books you haven't read yet that will enrich you, films you will watch while eating extra-large buckets of popcorn, and you will dance and laugh and have sex and go for runs by the river and have late-night conversations and laugh until it hurts. Life is waiting for you. You might be stuck here for a while, but the world isn't going anywhere. Hang on in there if you can. Life is always worth it."
