Forget him for the day...but never forget my Omerta

Not the things that happen to you shape your life, but your reaction to them. Even a dreadful experience left behind will not affect the quality of your being.

When did you think of me?

The plain of my alone-ness
Sought the black bulk of your trees
And my hand tore at the grass
And scooped out hard earth
And made some sort of brick
For some sort of house
upon desert plain and sky
I have done looking at.

I let go, I turn aside, I put down all disagreeable or painful memories relating to what I have done, or would have wanted to do in the past, relating to all the episodes of my past activity. I let go, I put down what I have been or would have wished to be in the past. I let go, I put down the impressions that I have felt, I discharge and strip myself of them.

David-Neel and Lama Yongden,
la Connaissance Transcendante,
Adyar, Paris, 1958

Fidelity to commitment in the face of doubts and fears is a very spiritual thing; the giving is the very thing that makes you thrive and flourish

“True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be.” (Unknown)
