Nice. What are you growing?

Feeling doughy today. It’ll soon be time for a fast.

Want what will make your life better. -J Peterson

How to live? That is the question.

...that is, present-moment awareness is quite a bit different than the mind-dominated state that I find myself in most of the time. “Seeing” one’s thoughts and patterns vs unconsciously identifying with them allows one the freedom to change.

I’ve only had glimpses of this state. It’s profoundly different from normal existence and wonderful. #presence

Cool. What is the incinerator for, just burning garden detritus?

“Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

Lovely 😊

Welcome Paul!

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah… it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you. -Rumi

Years ago I met a successful gold miner. He taught me an important life lesson over a game of pool: consider where the cue ball will land after every shot.

Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
-Eckhart Tolle

This is so true.

“Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.” -Rumi

You’re welcome.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. -Rumi

“Be full of sorrow, that you may become full of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.” -Rumi

If I wasn’t allergic (to both cats and dogs, somewhat) I’d be inclined to test that hypothesis.

Maybe servals are hypoallergenic :)

When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit. -Rumi

I had a surreal Lyft Pool ride the other day. The other passenger was telling me about his pure-bred African Serval cat he'd purchased illegally for $5000. We then discussed how cats in general actually show affection to their owners. I always thought that was more of a dog thing

Thanks for the tip mystery peeper 🙏

Commute in a train or self-driving car I hope :)

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. -Rumi

Stay warm. Nice pic.

I second this motion @thecrazygamer16 thanks for asking :)

Words of wisdom. Although I wonder why he chose negation rather than “courage”. Maybe because one word isn’t a quote? :)

Welcome Georgia. Nice quote.

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself? -TTC

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity. Tao

I am excited
