great rush

the way they do it in hospitals, you don't have to be in a great rush to get rid of your pain - may be it can be even more beneficial to you and the world to sit with your pain and kindly ask why he chose to come to your door

our needs

Some days our needs are very little – sitting with a friend who does not doubt our capacity to shine infinitely.

truly

If you’ve an opinion, If you’ve a belief, If you’ve an agenda, If you’ve a mental position --- and if you get up every morning to defend them, to fight for them, to die for them --- then, truly you’ve no time for yourself. truly you’ve lost the music of peace - truly fear has taken over your life until you show a hint of courage, some willingness to toss away all of them so that you can be empty again, empty and pure as a child and you can reunite with the sacred within where life is birthed forth each moment -

Feel this infinite softness inside you- and let anyone in your presence feel they're safe
