Spiritual & Philosophical wisdom

I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all... They taught me the world only makes sense if you force it to.

My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,

And a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Ka‘ba and the tables of the Tora and the book of the Koran.

I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love's camels take, that is my religion and my faith.

 

''Wherever you are, and whatever you do...be in love.'' - Rumi

 

Somehow knowing without knowing, every newborn knows if it is loved. If you do not hold a newborn and love it, and merely change its diaper and feed it, it will die within a matter of days. That is the wisdom of the heart, which insists there must always be limits on just how inhumane we can become.

 

I believe in evolution, because the idea people will never change is unacceptable to me, myself, and I.

 

The Earth is my cathedral.

 

Anger is a stone thrown into a hornet nest.

 

do good and don't look at who

 

You will never be where God is; only where s/he's been.

 

"The wound is the place where Light enters you.'' - Rumi

 

"It is finished"


For some reason, this is very comforting and peaceful to me.

 

fill what's empty, empty what's full, if it itches, rub - don't scratch. Don't squat with spurs on. The bigger critter has right of way. Don't fight physics. Call your parents. Drink plenty of water.

Don't be any more of a jackass than you absolutely have to be.
