In governing

people and serving heaven, 

there is nothing better 

than moderation.

To be moderate is to

follow tao without straying.

To follow tao without straying

is to become filled with good energy.

To be filled with good energy is to

overcome all things. To overcome

all things is to know that all

things are possible.

She who

knows that all things

are possible is fit to govern people.

Because she is one with the mother,

her roots go deep, her foundation

stands firm, her life lasts long,

her vision endures.

The

divine is

the experience of being

part of one’s natural environment,

vibrating with its energy, connected to all,

without having to erect imaginary

boundaries between the

self and the

other.

Anouar Majid

Heartbreak

asks us not to look for

an alternative path, because there

is no alternative path. It is an introduction

to what we love and have loved, an inescapable

and often beautiful question, something

and someone that has been with

us all along, asking us to be

ready for the ultimate

letting go.

David Whyte

Solitude is an art.

Mental training is needed to refine

and stabilize it. When you practice solitude,

you dedicate yourself to the

care of the soul.

Stephen Batchelor

My heart has

become capable of every form:

It is a pasture for gazelles and a cloister

for Christian monks, a temple for idols and

the pilgrim’s Ka’ba, and the tables of

the torah and the book of

the Qur’an.

I follow

the religion of love:

whatever way love’s camels take,

that is my religion and

my faith.

Ibn ‘Arabi
