"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

-Philo

Knowledge is learning something every day.
Wisdom is letting go of something every day.

--Zen proverb

Rainer Maria Rilke

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”

Nothing material in life is permanent. All things are always undergoing change. Does that mean that change is the only thing that is permanent?

A Cherokee Legend

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Q. What is reality?

A. Reality is what goes on outside the mind.
