QUOTE FROM A GREAT MOVIE

"All we know about the future is that it'll be different. Perhaps what we fear is that it'll be the same. We must celebrate the changes. Someone once said that everything will be all right in the end, and if it's not, then trust me, it's not yet the end." - Dame Judi Dench's character Evelyn in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

"But what if, as curators of our own contentment, we deliberately cultivated the habit of being: a heightened awareness of Real Life's abundance?...Once you commit to cultivating the habit of being, nothing in your daily round will lack meaning because you'll discover the meaning is within you."

DEEP IN THOUGHT...

Taken from Vicktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning:

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

LILALOU IN TREEHOUSE ON FREDDY QUILT!

ONLY LOVE!

TWO QUOTES THAT RESONATE TODAY - FROM LOVING KINDNESS BY SHARON SALZBERG

We can travel a long way and do many different things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unneccessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home. True happiness may not be all that far away, but it requires a radical change of view as to where to find it.

Abandoning unskillful states that cause suffering is not something we do out of fear of or contempt for those states, or out of contempt for ourselves for having those states arise in the mind. Abandoning the unskillful isn't accomplished by angrily shoving or pushing away our habits of separation. Rather it comes as we learn to truly love ourselves and all beings, so that love provides the light by which we bear witness to those burdens, watching them simply fall away.
