Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.

Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.

Open your hands if you want to be held.

I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.

You sit here for days saying, this is a strange business. You're the strange business. You have the energy of the sun in you, but you keep knotting it up at the base of your spine.

For sixty years I have been forgetful every minute, but not for a second has this flowing toward me stopped or slowed.

Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.
