Your personal universe does not exist by itself. It is merely a
limited and distorted view of the real. It is not the universe
that needs improving, but your way of looking.

There are no "good " or "bad " people. Some
are a little better or a little worse, but all are activated more
by misunderstanding than malice.
-Tennessee Williams
Q: Are there not good desires and bad, high desires and low?
A: All desires are bad, but some are worse than others. Pursue
any desire, it will always give you trouble.
Why desire at all? Desiring a state of freedom from desire will
not set you free. Nothing can set you free, because you are free.
See yourself with desireless clarity, that is all.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj, from I Am That - Talks with Sri
Nisargadatta Maharaj, posted to AlongTheWay
Those who are awake live in a state of constant amazement.

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married
to amazement. I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
- Mary Oliver
Today means boundless and inexhaustible eternity. Periods of
months and years and of time in general are ideas of men, who
calculate by number; but the true name of eternity is Today.
- Philo
Life is this simple: We are living in a world that is absolutely
transparent and the Divine is shining through it all the time.
This is not just a nice story or a fable. It is true.
- Thomas Merton
After all, if I can't be myself, who can?
