ukraine’s smallest fighter receives state honors

The highest good is

like water, which benefits all things

and contends with none. It flows in low

places that others disdain, and

thus it is close to

the Tao. 

In living, choose your ground well. 

In thought, stay deep in the heart. 

In relationships, be generous. 

In speaking, hold to the truth. 

In leadership, be organized. 

In work, do your best. 

In action, be timely. 

If you

compete with no one, 

no one can compete

with you.

Beyond

our occupation,

each of us has a vocation,

a calling toward sacred service.

This calling may be understood as our

life’s purpose, our personal contribution to

the transformation of the world. Spiritual chivalry

is the cultivation of our capacity to answer the call.

It is to swear oneself body, heart, and soul to the

ideals of truth, justice, peace, and beauty,

and thus sworn, to go forth

into the battle

of life.

 
Pir Zia Inayat-Khan

Do not allow

someone else’s choices to ruin 

your waking hours or interrupt your sleep.

The only words and actions you can control

are your own, so focus on your own

integrity, generosity, honesty.

Rise above.

Maggie Smith

No mud, no

lotus.

 
Thich Nhat Hanh

Banish existence 

and you fall into existence; follow emptiness

and you turn your back on it. Excessive talking and thinking

turn you from harmony with the Way. Cut off talking

and thinking, and there is nowhere

you cannot penetrate.
