Vacant Can be Good
True Power (the only power)
It doesn’t mean one should be passive or not care. Do your best and let it go.
Edible Bags
If you don’t already subscribe to http://www.mymodernmet.com, I highly recommend it. It’s been a wonderful source of creative inspiration and good news. Recently, they published this article about a Japanese businessman (Hidetoshi Matsukawa) moved to create better shopping bags (with a team of like-minded people). They produced bags made of (deer) rice crackers and milk carton pulp after Matsukawa learned that 14 local deer had died from ingesting plastic bags.
Let’s stop complaining about our problems (and each other) and DO something to be part of the solution (I’m telling myself this, too)!
Abstract
Cheaper Than Surgery…
“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
Roald Dahl
Still
“To meet everything and everyone through Stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer the universe.” — Eckhart Tolle
Equanimity: A Different Metric
You are on the right track if:
- you can lose your job and still remain calm,
- have your graduation or wedding postponed and you’re still happy,
- you choose people over money,
- remember that this, too, shall pass
Stop Swinging
If we choose to continue believing our ego, we will spend our lives swinging up and down. The energy behind our compulsive thinking is the energy of fear. It keeps us looking outside ourselves for the next thing, person or project for fulfillment. However, there is a space between the up and down of our emotional seesaw, when we are equally balanced in the middle. The outer and inner noise disappears; this is where we are able to connect to the essence of our being. It is here, in the stillness, we connect to the energy of love, kindness, equality, a deep sense of worthiness and lasting inner peace. Accessible in every moment, it is within you and me, right here, Now. Our happiness and inner peace can’t be found in the past or the future, but only in the stillness and awareness of the present moment.
