What's knowing you,
You and I
We are of One.

A heart's embrace

A true heart's embrace,

At the core,

warmth cannot be fake.

"In a relativistic universe ...."

In a relativistic universe you don't cling to anything, you learn to swim. And you know what swimming is - it's kind of a relaxed attitude with the water. In which you don't keep yourself afloat by holding the water, but by a certain giving to it.

Alan Watts

"If you do follow your bliss ...."

If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.

Joseph Campbell

"Happiness is ...."

“Happiness is not just a coincidence; it is a capacity that every individual has at their disposal.  Everyone can be, or become, happy.  Modern research tells us what factors have a bearing on happiness.  Step by step we can transform the factors that militate against happiness.  This is true of individuals and the whole of society.”

“The aim of a secular ethic is to free us of momentary and long-term suffering and to develop the ability to support others in the pursuit of happiness.  One aspect of compassion is the spontaneous willingness to act for the welfare of others.”

The Dalai Lama

"I like to envision the whole world ...."

I like to envision the whole world as a jigsaw puzzle … If you look at the whole picture, it is overwhelming and terrifying, but if you work on your little part of the jigsaw and know that people all over the world are working on their little bits, that’s what will give you hope.

Jane Goodall
