When We Open Ourselves This Way

When we open ourselves this way, we become malleable, liable to be shaped by the world we live in, implicated in it, embedded in it, stained in its mud and shot through with its illumination.

A willing participant in the world, open to its pain and also its joy.

Roger Housden in Ten Poems to Change Your Life.

Life Beyond the Mind

There’s great freedom in not compulsively interpreting other people, situations, and so on, not imposing all these judgments. Imposing thinking continuously on the world, which is so alive and so fresh and new at every moment. 

Eckhardt Tolle speaking to Krista Tippett on the Becoming Wise audio program.
