just sitting doing nothing is,
how relaxing, how restful.

As the witnessing deepens,
you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -

you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence.
This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."
- Mary Anne Radmacher

and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.
