"Beyond what we wishand what we fear..." - Quote by Rumi

“Some nights stay up till dawn, as the moon sometimes does for the sun. Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way of a well, then lifted out into light.”

“Bring anger and pride under your feet,turn them into a ladder and climb higher.”

“You are not one you are a Thousand. Just Light your Lantern.”

“To those who feel that their values are THE values, the less controlled systems necessarily present a spectacle of "chaos," simply because such systems respond to a diversity of values. The more successfully such systems respond to diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by definition, according to the standards of ANY specific set of values- other than diversity or freedom as values. Looked at another way, the more self-righteous observers there are, the more chaos (and "waste") will be seen.”

“The hope of the world is still in dedicated minorities. The trail-blazers in human, scientific and religious freedom have always been in a minority.”

“You're not free, unless you come to the place where you have nothing to prove.”

“A great rock is not disturbed by the wind; the mind of a wise man is not disturbed by either honor or abuse.”

“Close your mouth,block off your senses,blunt your sharpness,untie your knots,soften your glare,settle your dust.This is the primal identity.”

“But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in your power whenever you choose to retire into yourself.”
