Wherever you go, there you are.
You can only journey from where you are already standing.
What is real?
"We must be willing to encounter darkness and despair when they come up and face them, over and over again, if need be, without running away or numbing ourselves in the thousands of ways we conjur up to avoid the unavoidable."
Jon Kabat-Zinn
"Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remian unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?"
Lao-Tzu
"Don't go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens."
Kabir
"Direct your eye right inward,
and you'll find
A thousand regions in your mind
Yet undiscovered. Travel them and be
Expert in home-cosmography."
Thoreau
