Offering of Greetings

"On my walking path, I often see elderly grandmothers and grandfathers walking alone.

Whenever I greet them, they respond with

bright, cheerful smiles.

There’s not a single exception.

Their smiles make me smile in turn.

Even on days when there’s nothing else to smile…

"Peace isn’t something you find after fixing everything that troubles you. Life will always have problems. The key is to focus on what you can control and let go of anything that doesn’t truly need your attention right now."

It's a tender whisper our hearts sometimes forget: peace isn't a prize waiting for a perfect,…

"The quality of people around you matters more than the number of people!"

The true measure of a fulfilling life isn't found in the sheer quantity of relationships, but in the quality of connections we cultivate. Surrounding yourself with individuals who hold you to a higher standard than you hold yourself is an act of…

It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous.

Resign yourself to be the fool you are.

You will find that you survive humiliation

And that’s an experience of incalculable value.

That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost

The desires for all that was most desirable,…

"There’s no prize for racing through life. Slow down. Feel the breeze. Taste your food. Laugh with someone you love.

Slow doesn’t always ‘win the race,’ but it feels a lot more joy."

In a world that often celebrates speed and constant hustle, it’s important to remember that life isn’t a race to be won—it’s a journey to be…

As we journey through the unpredictable maze of life, we encounter challenges that can shake us to our core, threatening to dim the light within us. In these moments of adversity, it's tempting to withdraw, to let despair cast a shadow over our spirit. Yet, amidst the chaos, there is a powerful truth to hold onto: remain alive. Do not…

"Everyone is going through a lot right now. I hope we all find peace!"

In this journey we call life, each heart carries its own weight of unspoken burdens, its own silent struggles.

We are all navigating our unique paths, facing challenges that test our resilience and push us to our…

the most about humanity

aren’t always human.”

HAPPY EASTER! Let’s celebrate Resurrection and Rebirth into a world where people can be free.

YOU RAISE ME UP

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence

Until You come and sit awhile with…

Sometimes I think this life is too short for me,

When I think of all the things I want to do,

When I think of all the places I want to see,

When I think of all the people I want to love.

If I could have more eyes to see the world,

Or more ears to hear each song,

Or more hands to touch each…

No Hiding Place

In the search for spiritual truth, there’s no room for hiding. Anything that stands in the way of true fulfilment must eventually come into the light. We all carry within us emotional forces…

Trapped by Love of the Unknown

To be trapped by love of the unknown is a sacred submission to life…

Footprints in the Sand

Any true spiritual insight or realisation leaves no trace in the memory. This is because the quality of the spirit is timeless and can only be realised in the immediacy of the present. What happens is that when…

The Spiritual Crisis

The relentless pressure of the spirit, when…

Karma

Whatever is happening now or at any moment is the unfolding of karma. Many people assume that karma applies solely to the difficulties and hardships encountered in life. This is not so. Karma also unfolds…

As long as you are born of the flesh you have to suffer. This is the way of the flesh.

Do not try to improve your life. You're making a big mistake. For there is no question about it, if you use positive thinking and use your mind, you may appear to improve your life. But remember, this world in which you live is a world of…

Greed has poisoned men's souls,

has barricaded the world with hate,

has goose-stepped us into misery

and bloodshed.

We have developed speed,

but we have shut ourselves in.

Machinery that gives abundance

has left us in want.

Our knowledge has made us cynical;

our cleverness, hard…

Many years ago a wise friend gave me a name for human love. She called it "stirring-the-oatmeal" love. She was right: Within this phrase, if we will humble ourselves enough to look, is the very essence of what human love is, and it shows us the principal differences between human love and romance.

Stirring the oatmeal…

Beautiful message from Richard Gere:

"There's no time for anything else... It's life and no one escapes this living world. There's still time, so live for fun, maybe tomorrow is no more. Eat what you want, walk in the sun , bathe in the sea... Be crazy, be silly. There's no time for…
