In an age of speed nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still. #IyerPico #PicoIyer #TheArtOfStillness

How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us. If we see God as full of love and compassion, so are we. (Rule 1) #FortyRulesOfLove #ShamsOfTabriz 1185-1248

Suddenly the hero saw that the living too are dead and that we can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasure; for our hearts are not strong enough to love every moment. #ThorntonWilder (1897 – 1975) #TheWomanOfAndros (1930)
