Treasure

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, self-esteem, the deep within, the self
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Loving oneself isn’t hard when you understand who and what yourself is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It’s so beyond all of those things and it’s what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure.

—Phylicia Rashad, YouTube interview with Cherise Nicole (CNikky.com/EURWeb), January 15, 2013

Scratching

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“The novelist who refuses sentiment refuses the full spectrum of human behavior, and then he just dries up. Irony is always scratching your tired ass, whatever way you look at it, I would rather give full vent to all human loves and disappointments, and take a chance on being corny, than die a smartass.”

—Jim Harrison, Conversations With Jim Harrison, ed. Robert DeMott

Coconuts

Posted by PJ under enlightenment, mindfulness, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“In the jungles of flaming ego,
May there be cool iceberg of bodhicitta.

On the racetrack of bureaucracy,
May there be the walk of the elephant.

May the sumptuous castle of arrogance
Be destroyed by vajra confidence.

In the garden of gentle sanity,
May you be bombarded by coconuts of
wakefulness.”

—Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, “Timely Rain” (more…)
