“J'étais jeune, je me disais : j'ai la vie devant moi.
En vieillissant, je me disais : j'ai la vie derrière moi.
Malade, je me suis dit: peu m'importe; tant que j'ai la vie avec moi.
Depuis, la vie est toujours avec moi. Ni devant, ni derrière, ni avant, ni après. J'ai cessé de l'offrir sur l'autel du Temps. J'ai rendu la vie à la vie.”
Emmanuelle Soni-Dessaigne

They left, and Summer dresses in new bloom,
Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth
Descend--ourselves to make a Couch--for whom?"

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”

“Do you want to improve the world?
I don't think it can be done.

The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.

There is a time for being ahead,
a time for being behind;
a time for being in motion,
a time for being at rest;
a time for being vigorous,
a time for being exhausted;
a time for being safe,
a time for being in danger.

The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
and resides at the center of the circle.”

Lao Tzu,
 
"There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way."

Thich Nhat Hanh
