Nepo, Mark - A00163

"Whether through the patterns left in snow, or geese honking in the dark, or through the brilliant wet leaf that hits your face the moment you are questioning your worth, the quiet teachers are everywhere, pointing us to the unlived portion of our lives.  When we think we are in charge, the lessons dissolve as accidents or coincidence.  But when we're humble enough to welcome the connections, the glass that breaks across the room is offering us direction, giving us a cue to the story we are in."  (10/21/2024)

Niequist, Shauna - A00164

"Use what you have, use what the world gives you.  Use the first day of fall: bright flame before winter's deadness; harvest; orange, gold, amber; cool nights and the smell of fire.  Our tree-lined streets are set ablaze, our kitchens filled with the smells of nostalgia: apples bubbling into sauce, roasting squash, cinnamon, nutmeg, cider, warmth itself.  The leaves as they spark into wild color just before they die are the world's oldest performance art, and everything we see is celebrating one last violently hued hurrah before the black and white and silence of winter."  (09/20/2024)

"No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life.  There may be countless trails and bridges and demigods who would gladly carry you across; but only at the price of pawning and forgoing yourself.  There is one path in the world that none can walk but you.  Where does it lead?  Don't ask, walk!" (11/10/2022)

Nin, Anais

Nisargadatta Maharaj (Sri Nisargadatta) - A00166

"Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy,"
