Companion:Inside
Dear reader,
In my life, sayings, poems and passages have often helped me to ground myself and find my centre again in good and, especially, in life's challenging situations.
Quote:
"For me, there is only walking on paths that have heart.
On every path I walk, which is perhaps a path that has heart
That's where I go, and the only worthwhile challenge is,
to walk its entire length,
And there I go and see - and see breathlessly."
Don Juan from Carlos Castaneda, „The Teachings of Don Juan A Yaqui Way of Knowledge“
Quote:
"By looking inwards, we realise that the root of all happiness and unhappiness lies within ourselves."
Gendün Rinpoche
Quote
"In the song of the birds and the rustling of the trees,
in the sun's rays and in the sky itself,
like all living beings, every single one,
recognise the vibrations of the Dharma".
Shantideva
Quote:
"That too is art, is God's gift,
to carry so much light into your heart on a few bright sunny days that when the summer has long gone - the glow still remains."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
... in life situations where there is a lot of insecurity and self-doubt, an affirmation is always very helpful for me:
"I am whole, rich, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy"
I have supplemented this affirmation with the addition: For the good of all beings
Best regards,
from Ilka
