Thought

Across planes of consciousness, we have to live with the paradox that opposite things can be simultaneously true. My guru said that when he suffers, it brings him closer to God. Suffering is grace. The quieter you become, the more you can hear. The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.

– Ram Dass, Be Here Now

Quote

Carlos Casteneda on heart: 

“Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask yourself this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use.”

Intention of the Day 

My intention is to practice empathy and seek to understand rather than judge.

What’s your intention today? 

Happy Monday,
