Nurture

Posted by PJ under nurture, quote of the day, the self
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Treat yourself as though you’re raising a child. Imagine you are a child that you are raising and that you love very dearly. You know you need to give the child a lot of love and nurturing, but the child also needs some boundaries. You’re not going to let yourself eat all the candy and run out into traffic. In your heart, you know what is going to help you grow.”

—Pema Chödrön, The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017

Electrons

Posted by PJ under fairies, metaphors, quantum physics, quote of the day, reality
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Electrons…are no more real than the Sidhe—and no more metaphorical either. We cannot even say whether they are waves or particles, only that it depends on the observer…. Nowhere is empty; even the spaces in atoms are thought to be full of daimonic entities—”virtual particles” which appear out of nowhere, interact and vanish.”

Booklove

Posted by PJ under books, love, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love, and like that colossal adventure it is an experience of great social import. Even as the tranced swain, the booklover yearns to tell others of his bliss.”

Student

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, students, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You are the only faithful student you have.
All the others leave eventually.

Have you been making yourself shallow
with making others eminent?

Just remember, when you’re in union,
you don’t have to fear
that you’ll be drained.

The command comes to speak,
and you feel the ocean
moving through you.
Then comes, Be silent,
as when the rain stops,
and the trees in the orchard
begin to draw moisture
up into themselves.”

—Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (tr. Coleman Barks)
