Everything - a bird, a tree, even a simple stone, and certainly a human being - is ultimately unknowable. This is because it has unfathomable depth. All we can perceive, experience, think about, is the surface layer of reality, less than the tip of an iceberg. Underneath the surface appearance, everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came. Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself.

Eckhart TolleTo the ego, loving and wanting are the same, whereas true love has no wanting in it, no desire to possess or for your partner to change.
Eckhart TolleNothing out there will ever satisfy you except temporarily and superficially, but you may need to experience many disappointments before you realize that truth
Eckhart TolleWhenever you are immersed in compulsive thinking, you are avoiding what is. You don't want to be where you are. Here, Now.
