Examen

Perhaps I am stranger than I think.

Perhaps I am even afraid of my strength, and turn it against myself, thus making myself weak.

Making myself secure. Making myself guilty.

Perhaps I am most afraid of the strength of God in me.

Perhaps I would rather be guilty and weak in myself, than strong in Him, whom I cannot understand.

-Thomas Merton

We make assumptions that everyone sees life the way we do.

This is the biggest assumption that humans make.

And This is why we have a fear of being ourselves around others.

- Miguel Ruiz

A fool stays awake all night worrying about everything.

He's fatigued when the morning comes, and his problems remain unsolved.

Walking in Awareness

I start to walk very deliberately and slowly. As I place my feet on the ground, I try to be aware that I am blessed by it and in turn I bless it.

I tried to stop thinking and instead simply to be.

I tried to let go, let everything drop away so that I can be totally present to whatever may reach me through my senses.

- Esther deWaal

God… Goes about with a Lantern in hand: to look for anyone who will accept him.

Once you realize this floating life is the perfect mirage of change, It's breathtaking.

So, love others with no expectations, prerequisites, clauses or conditions.

Give without the desire to be noticed and applauded.

Change the world because the world needs us to look outside of ourselves.

- Rose C.L.

Sometimes it's one who can see.
