“Being must be felt. It can't be thought.” - Eckhart Tolle

We can drop the fundamental hope that
there is a better "me"
who one day will emerge.
We can't just jump over ourselves
as if we were not there.

Pema Chodron

You sit here for days saying, This is strange business.
You’re the strange business.
You have the energy of the sun in you,
but you keep knotting it up at the base of your spine.
You’re some weird kind of gold
that wants to stay melted in the furnace,
so you won’t have to become coins. ~Rumi

Take sips of this pure wine being poured.
Don’t mind that you’ve been given a dirty cup. ~Rumi
