“See and observe without judgment. This silent act requires no action at all — simply seeing and holding space for what you see without attitude about it — but it has a seemingly miraculous impact on those around you. It holds space for others to come into conscious awareness of that which they weren’t aware…
“The words ‘This, too, will pass’ are pointers toward reality. In pointing to the impermanence of all forms, by implication, they are also pointing to the eternal. Only the eternal in you can recognize the impermanent as impermanent.” ~ Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth You know, my friend, we are spirit having a human experience,…
“The choice between love and fear is made every moment in our hearts and minds. That is where the peace process begins. Without peace within, peace in the world is an empty wish. Like love, peace is extended. It cannot be brought from the world to the heart. It must be brought from each heart…
