"He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment."
-- Meister Eckhart
We are the ocean -- vast, deep, powerful and rich. Nourishing and nurturing. Dive down into the dark stillness of being. Sense the rising and falling of surface thoughts and emotions, sometimes gentle, sometimes violent. Always shifting. Always in motion. Draw back and watch the waves of your life at play. Know you are the unfathomable depths -- surface agitations can’t disturb you. Know that you are bigger than the little things that aggravate you.
"The bird of paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp."
-- John Berry
"It’s best not to get too excited or too depressed by the ups and downs of life."
-- Dalai Lama
