Life wants to support you. But first you need to be open to life.
Much suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.
Even running to catch a train or a taxi, you can enjoy the high energy of the moment.
A work of art comes out of a state of deep stillness.
The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.
Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
