Food for thought

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose
an opportunity
of seeing
anything beautiful,
for beauty
is God's handwriting.

For Toek

Whatever our souls are made of,
his and mine are the same.

that a ray of beauty outvalues
all the utilities of the world.by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Food for thought

by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

It is always the false that makes you suffer,the false desires and fears,
the false values and ideas,
the false relationships between people.
Abandon the false and you are free of pain;
truth makes happy,
truth liberates.

Food for thought

'Tis the good reader
that makes the good book;in every book he finds passages
which seem confidences
or asides hidden from all else
and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according
to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought
or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered
by an equal mind and heart.


~Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the End, we will remember
not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends.

Food for thought

by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyAnd now here is my secret,
a very simple secret;it is only with the heart
that one can see rightly, what is essential
is invisible to the eye.

The butterfly counts not months
but moments,
and has time enough.

Rabindranath Tagore

A sunny day in my garden,
surrounded by it's beautiful inhabitants,
always makes me feel quiet and peaceful.

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Thank you.... :)

Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Just walk beside me
and be my friend

Food for thought

You Are Me

You are me and I am you.
It is obvious that we are inter-are. You cultivate the flower in yourself
so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself
so that you do not have to suffer. I support you you support me.
I am here to bring you peace
you are here to bring me joy.


- Thich Naht Hahn

Food for thought

Personal transformation can
and does have global effects.
As we go,
so goes the world,
for the world is us.
The revolution that will save the world
is ultimately a personal one.

By Kahlil Gibran
Out of suffering
have emerged
the strongest souls;
the most massive characters
are seared with scars.

Food for thought

By letting it go
it all gets done.

The world is won
by those who let it go. But when you try and try.

The world is beyond the winning.

Food for thought


Tell your heart that the fear of suffering
is worse than the suffering itself.
And no heart has ever suffered
when it goes in search of its dream.
Have a lovely weekend my friends
and take care :)

Don't look at your form, however ugly or beautiful.
Look at love and at the aim of your quest. ...

O you whose lips are parched,
keep looking for water. Those parched lips are proof
that eventually you will reach the source.

Food for thought

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.
The real miracle is the love that inspires them.
In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.
I hope your weekends will be as light and lovely as these flowers :)

The spiritual path -
is simply the journey of living our lives.
Everyone is on a spiritual path;
most people just don't know it.

Marianne Williamson

Food for thought

Old friends pass away, new friends appear.
It is just like the days.
An old day passes, a new day arrives.
The important thing is to make it meaningful:
a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

Dalai Lama

I have had a meaningful day personally thanks to an insight. Since I started trying to see every day as a new chance without dragging along shame about old mistakes and bad habits; I feel free and full of energy again. What a releave hihi :)

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability,
one can build a better world.

Dalai Lama

Food for thought

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony,
and the deep power of joy,
we see into the life of things.

William Wordsworth
