Small Tasks

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty 

to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.We have to learn to live happily in the present moment, 

to touch the peace and joy that are available now.  Thich Nhat Hanh

Truth

When we see into the emptiness or illusory nature of things, of life and death, 

of sickness and health, of youth and old age, then we’re master of all things. 

We are free to be healthy, we’re free to be sick, we’re free to grow old. 

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold

Beyond

You're from a country beyond this universe, yet your best guess is earth and ashes. Rumi

Thinking

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?  Winnie the Pooh

Let Go

If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have even more peace. So wherever you are attached, let go of that and come back to the center. Learn to see all movement of life with balance and openness. Achaan Chah

Choices
