Eckhart TolleHow wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.
Eckhart TolleIf a fish is born in your aquarium and you call him John, write out a birth certificate, tell him about his family history, and in two minutes he gets eaten by another fish - that's tragic. But it's only tragic because you projected a separate self where there was none. You got hold of a fraction of dynamic process, a molecular dance, and a separate entity out of it.
