We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it.Whatever we do to the web,

“When you do not realize that you are one with the river, or one with the universe, you have fear.
Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water.
Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact,
we have no fear of death anymore.” Shunryu Suzuki

“When tears come, I breathe deeply and rest. I know I am swimming in a hallowed stream where many have gone before.
I am not alone, crazy, or having a nervous breakdown…. My heart is at work, my soul is awake.”

“It seems in every interaction there is something to learn if we
can only see ourselves as students. If we can humble ourselves, and allow ourselves to see the world without our own
beliefs and dogmas, then we could see so much beauty awaiting us in each moment.”

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is
between 2 "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt,
resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then
asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

“Some of us need to discover that we will not begin to live more fully until we have the courage to do and see and taste and experience much less than usual ... And for a man who
has let himself be drawn completely out of himself by his activity, nothing is more difficult than to sit still and rest, doing nothing at all. The very act of resting is the hardest and most
courageous act he can perform.” --Thomas Merton

“As long as Nature is seen as something outside ourselves; frontiered and foreign, separate, it is lost both
to us and in us. It follows that to achieve a society in harmony with Nature, we must be guided by respect for it.”

I honor the place within you in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace.
When you are in that place in you, I am in that place in me.
We are one.

“Our intentions -- noticed or unnoticed, gross or subtle -- contribute either to our suffering or to our happiness. Intentions are sometimes called seeds. The garden you grow depends on the seeds you plant and water. Long after a deed is done, the trace or momentum of the
intention behind it remains as a seed, conditioning our future happiness or unhappiness.”

“The most incredible architecture
Is the architecture of Self,which is ever changing,
evolving, revolving and has unlimited beauty and light
inside which radiates outwards for everyone to
see and feel.
With every in breathyou are adding to your lifeand every out breath you are releasing what is not contributing to your life.
Every breath is a re-birth.”

“Connecting with the wilderness allows us to
live in the flow of a meaningful, joyful life.
Embracing this state of connectedness or
oneness with other living beings including animals, as opposed to feeling an
“otherness” or “separateness” brings a sense of harmony and
enables us to be at peace with oneself and
the world.” ― Sylvia Dolson,
