In the cherry blossoms shade.

                                   
                                    In the cherry blossoms shade
                                                    there's no thing as a stranger.

The Master arrives without leaving.

Without opening the door
you can open your heart to the world,
Without looking out your window
you can see the essence of Tao,
The more you know,
The less you understand,
The master arrives without leaving,
Sees the light without looking,
Achieving without doing.
 
Lao Tzu.
Tao Te Ching Chapter 47.
 

True destiny.

Love is our true destiny.
We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone,
We find it with another.
 
Thomas Merton.

The bull.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly
because you are a good person,
is a little like
expecting the bull not to attack you
because you are a vegetarian.

:') funny, but true! :')

Suffering .

 
Suffering is a gift
in it is hidden mercy.

No shoes.


Nepal.


Without expectation.

                                                Ten thousand things rise and fall without cease.
                                                Creating yet not possesing.
                                                Working yet not taking credit.
                                                Work is done. Then forgotten.
                                                Therefore it lasts forever.
                                                  
                                                 Tao Te Ching chapter 2. translation by
                                                 Gia Gu Feng & Jane English.



Deep awareness.

       
When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything.
 
Thich Nhat Hanh.

Mindfulness.
