“Life shrinks or expands according to one’s courage - Anaïs Nin”
The path to reverence is through your heart, and only an awareness of your feelings can open your heart.
“As a mother would risk her life to protect her child, her only child, even so should one cultivate a limitless heart”
This is from the Mettā Sutta.
You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!”
— Sai Baba (via zenhumanism)

Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.

First, come into the present. Flash on what’s happening with you right now. Be fully aware of your body, its energetic quality. Be aware of your thoughts and emotions.
Next, feel your heart, literally placing your hand on your chest if you find that helpful. This is a way of accepting yourself just as you are in that moment, a way of saying, ‘This is my experience right now, and it’s okay.’
Then go into the next moment without any agenda.
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

Decency means never being tired or made haggard by others. There’s always some enjoyment in dealing with the world, whether you are dealing with people, with other sentient beings, or even with inanimate objects. You could be dealing with your garden; it could be your horse; it could be your dog, your cat, or your stove. No matter what you are doing, the sense of decency is being absolutely on the spot, without falling to the level of uncaring and crudeness.
