Random quote of the day:

“No one saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path:
Buddhas merely teach the way.”

Summiting

Posted by PJ under ascending, quote of the day, the path
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You cannot always stay on the summits. You have to come down again… So what’s the point? Only this: what is above knows what is below, what is below does not know what is above. While climbing, take note of all the difficulties along your path. During the descent, you will no longer see them, but you will know that they are there if you have observed carefully.”

—René Daumal, “The Art of Climbing Mountains,” Mount Analogue

Random quote of the day:

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

—Wendell Berry, “The Real Work”
