Lines from conversations, walks and writing.
When it's hard
“When life sucks, it's an opportunity to notice who or what it is that is being sucked.”
“What feels like a prison is often a solution.”
“When an emotional reaction arises, the conviction that it should be there masks the natural urge to ask why it arose.”
Wanting & choosing
“Where is it that you want to go?”
“Wanting something because you have been told it is good to want it is not wanting.
It is conforming.”
“What is said to be unwanted is an acceptable byproduct of what is actually wanted.”
“Hard work and sloth are both desires.
Neither is natural.”
“If you can explain the preference, it is not true.”
“A limiting belief is only limiting for one who sees it.
Whilst unseen, it is not optional, and not a belief.”
“A limitless belief is an oxymoron.”
Questions
“The heart lies in the question asked.
The answer has little relevance.”
“When a question replaces a suggestion, the 'I' loses the microphone for a second.”
Service & relationships
“Not owning is not the same as being irresponsible.
One is honesty.
The other is absence.”
“The notion of helping can still arise.
The claim does not have to.
Help without the badge.”
“You cannot own what you do not control.
And you control less than you think.”
Parenting
“Parenting is not supporting a child.
Not even enabling one.
It is being secure enough to leave nature uninterrupted as it flows through them.”
“When a parent's desire overrides the essence of the human they parent, conflict occurs.”
Presence
“Everyone you have ever known.
Every problem you have ever had lives here.”
“Humans have access to choice.
The one choosing depends on whether one is looking through the mind or looking at it.
You don't always choose the thoughts that arise.
But you choose the relationship to them.
That choice shapes your reality.”
“The beauty of language lies in its inability to express truth.
When one is lost for words, the experience is intimately real yet words cannot touch it.”
“There is no give and take in nature.
There is simply an energetic reaction to whatever is present in each moment.”
