My advice

to other disabled people would be,

concentrate on things your disability doesn’t

prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things

it interferes with. Don’t be disabled

in spirit as well as physically.

Stephen Hawking

Since

the past is unreal

and the future is unreal,

all your thoughts are

about nothing.  

Byron Katie

If there

is peace in your mind

you will find peace with everybody.

If your mind is agitated you will find agitation

everywhere. So first find peace within and you will

see this inner peace reflected everywhere else.

You are this peace! You are happiness,

find out. Where else will you

find peace if not

within

you?

Papaji
 

andrew kowalik, “before the storm”

If I 

had known how

sorrowful this world is, 

I would have become grass

or a tree in a deep

mountain!

Me tenía

una familia de árboles,

otra de matas, hablaba largo

y tendido con animales

hallados

(I had

a family of trees, and

another of plants, and I talked and

talked with the animals

I found)
