Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?
Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas - silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which comes all your thoughts, is silence. The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today. Then be aware of what disturbs your inner silence. It could be negative thoughts, memories, sensations. And when you are aware, you will know what is draining your creative power, and you will know what needs to change...on the inside!

I doubt, therefore I think; I think therefore I am.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
No act of kindness is ever wasted.
The great end of education is to discipline
rather than to furnish the mind; to train
it to the use of its own powers, rather than
fill it with the accumulation of others.
When walking - walk. When sitting - sit. But don't wobble!
