Intimately Coupled

We all need pain. We all need poetry in our lives.

A beautiful quote

Trying to find a buddha or enlightenment is like trying to grab space. Space has a name but no form. It's not something you can pick up or put down. And you certainly can't grab it. Beyond this mind you'll never see a buddha. The buddha is a product of your mind. Why look for a buddha beyond this mind?

- Bodhidharma (d. 533)

A Nice Thought

"To fly we must dance with our longest shadows in the brightest sunlight."

—Louise Rader

Words

Words are things; and a small drop of ink
Falling like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

-Lord Byron, poet (1788-1824)
