My fullest concentration of energy is available to me only when I integrate all the parts of who I am, openly allowing power from particular sources of my living to flow back and forth freely through all my different selves, without the restriction of externally imposed definition.

—Audre Lorde ~ I Am Your Sister (1984)

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

11 lessons we can we learn from dolphins:
1. They play throughout much of their day. 2. They breathe consciously. 3. Using ultrasound, they are “transparent” to one another. 4. They rarely resort to violence. 5. They live in communal and supportive pods. 6. They live in a borderless environment. 7. They share child-rearing care and duties. 8. They follow opportunity (food/climate) as it leads them. 9. They have been known to help those in distress. 10. They “flow” with their environment. 11. They smile all the time!

((((They’re amazing creatures))))

Be glad that you don’t have instant manifestation. This buffer of time is really your friend. It’s your opportunity to observe and to ponder and to visualize, and to remember. It’s your opportunity to take an Emotional Journey that might be different from what you’re actually observing.

—Abraham (via lunarluminescence)

Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing.
It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator.
It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of the old skin.
Once you know you are not the mind the great transcendence has happened.
Suddenly all problems become insignificant; slowly, slowly they evaporate.
You are left with a profound peace; a great silence prevails.
This silence is the solution. This peace is the answer, the answer of all answers.

Osho (via seedsofwisdom)

YES to all of that.
