Can help you listen
To the Soul play
Its marvelous lute and drum.”
Love Everything

I am the Ocean

Retire
/in Quote of the Day /by Carol O'Connor“Keep on beating and sharpening a sword,
And the edge cannot be preserved for long.
Fill your house with gold and jade,
And it can no longer be guarded.
Set store by your riches and honour,
And you will only reap a crop of calamities.
Here is the Way of Heaven:
When you have done your work, retire!”
Peace of the Forest
/in Quote of the Day /by Carol O'Connor“People say to me so often, ‘Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful’, and I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.”
Simplicity

It Is Your Show
/in Quote of the Day /by Carol O'Connor“It is your show.
It is your universe.
There is no one else here, just you,
and nothing is being withheld from you.
You are completely on your own.
Everything is available for direct knowing.
No one else has anything you need.
No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.”
Observation
/in Quote of the Day /by Carol O'Connor“The highest form of intelligence is the ability to observe without evaluating.”
Judgment
/in Quote of the Day /by Carol O'Connor“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
