"The biggest gift you can give is to be absolutely present. And when you're hopeful or hopeless or pessimistic or optimistic, who cares?

Mansfield, Katherine - A00145
"I think of you often. Especially in the evenings, when I am on the balcony and it's too dark to write or to do anything but wait for the stars. A time to love. One feels half disembodied, sitting like a shadow at the door of one's being while the dark tide rises. Then comes the moon, marvelously serene, and small stars, very merry for some reason of their own. It is so easy to forget, in a worldly life, to attend to those miracles."

Maslow, Abraham - A00146
"The great lesson from the true mystics, from the Zen monks, from the Humanistic and Transpersonal psychologists, is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own back yard. This lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous."

"The thing about Zen is that it pushes contradictions to their ultimate limit where one has to choose between madness and innocence.

"During a certain period in the not-too-distant past, Japan, following a mistaken national policy, advanced along the road to war, only to ensnare the Japanese people in a fateful crisis, and, through its colonial rule and aggression, caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly to those of Asian nations. In the hope that no such mistake be made in the future, I regard, in a spirit of humility, these irrefutable facts of history, and express here once again my feelings of deep remorse and state my heartfelt apology. Allow me also to express my feelings of profound mourning for all victims, both at home and abroad, of that history."

"When Nasrudin was asked to speak at the mosque, he went up front and asked: "Oh people, do you know what I have come to tell you?'
"No," the crowd answered.
"If you don't know what I have come to tell you, then you are too ignorant to understand what I was going to say," Nasrudin replied, and walked out.
But the people, yearning for his wisdom, invited him back the next week. This time, when Nasrudin asked if they knew what he was going to say, the congregation answered, "Yes!"
"Very good," Nasrudin replied, "then I don't have to waste your time," and he walked out again.
The people invited him back a third time. When Nasrudin asked if they knew what he was going to say, half of the congregation said yes and half said no.
"Very good," said Nasrudin. "Those who know should tell those who don't, and I'll be on my way." (09/03/2025)
