You think of yourselves as humans searching for a spiritual awakening, when in fact you are spiritual beings attempting to cope with a human awakening. Seeing yourselves from the perspective of the spirit within will help you to remember why you came here and what you came here to do.
—Neale Donald Walsch (via nirvikalpa)
Bob Marley on how to love a woman
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” - Bob Marley

Sati sampajañña - Pali word of the day
Sati is the Pali word most often translated as mindfulness. Sampajañña means clear comprehension or self-awareness.
—-
“Sati-sampajañña, in the midst of all the fluctuations, is constant. It is a refuge. As you recognize it, realize it, know it, and appreciate it, you come to know it as a refuge…We take that which is aware of the conditioned realm, sati-sampajañña, awakened awareness, as our refuge, rather than trying to find or create a condition that will give us a false sense of security. We are not trying to fool ourselves, to create a sense of security through positive thinking. Our refuge is awakening to reality, because the unconditioned is reality. Awareness, awakeness, is the gate to the unconditioned.”
—Ajahn Sumedho in The Problem of Personality

Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized how I need you, and I wondered if I could come home…..

This is Juan.
Juan runs a hot dog stand on Houston St and today’s best selling item was water and ice tea (only 4 hot dogs today). Thing is, after talking for a while I learned Juan does not like the hot dog business. His passion is physics, and every night he either studies it or tutors Spanish high school students. The hot dog cart on the other hand, pays for his continuing education classes in both English and Physics.
Juan’s English is not good enough (yet) to get a teaching job, but he is working on it.
Today I am thinking about what is means to sacrifice for something you love.
N: ….then he beat my ass and plowed me. E: you need a bull whip, too, that’s the best. I’m gonna get one. N: too much for me. K: what about getting a bear trap? That’s hot
