Change

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.

God

There are people in the world so hungry that God can appear to them only as bread.

Suffering

Who can listen to a story of loneliness and despair without taking the risk of experiencing similar pains in his own heart and even losing his precious peace of mind? In short: Who can take away suffering without entering it?

Anxiety

So when confusion or pain seems to tighten what is possible, when sadness or frustration shrinks your sense of well-being, when worry or fear agitates the peace right out of you, try lending your attention to the nearest thing. Try watching how the dust lifts and resettles when you blow on it.

Stoicism

 Stoicism is predominantly a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to happiness for humans is found in accepting this moment as it presents itself, by not allowing ourselves to be controlled by our desire for pleasure or our fear of pain, by using our minds to understand the world around us and to do our part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

Through

“You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it.” – Cheryl Strayed

The Light That is You

The Peace of Wild Things

"THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS"
by Wendell Berry

When despair grows in me
and I wake in the middle of the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Everything Changes

Zen pretty much comes down to three things—everything changes; everything is connected; pay attention.

How Do We Describe Our Joy?

"The precision of pain and the blurriness of joy. I'm thinking how people are when they describe their pain in a doctor's office. 
Even those who haven't learned to read and write are precise: 'This one's a throbbing pain, that one's a wrenching pain, this one gnaws, that one burns, this is a sharp pain and that--a dull one. Right here. Precisely here, yes, yes.' Joy blurs everything. I've heard people say after nights of loved and feasting, 'It was great, it was seventh heaven.' Even the spaceman who floated in outer space, tethered to a spaceship, could say only, 'Great, wonderful, I have no words.'
The blurriness of joy and the precision of pain--
I want to describe, with a sharp pain's precision, happiness and blurry joy. I learned to speak among the pains."
