Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sharon Salzberg

Meditation is not a matter of trying to stop thinking or make your mind go blank but rather to realize when your attention is wandering and to simply let go of the thoughts and begin again. It is a way of changing our relationship to our thoughts, so we're not so consumed by them, with no sense of space. Having a newly spacious relationship to our thoughts brings both peace and freedom.

Can we walk that thin line between constant change and continuation? And in the middle of this flux, feel gratitude but not hold on?

Tulips come up in spring for no reason. Of course, you planted bulbs and now in April the earth warms up. But why? For no reason except gravity. Why gravity? For no reason. And why did you plant red tulip bulbs to begin with? For beauty, which is itself and has no reason. So the world is empty. Things rise and fall for no reason. And what a great opportunity that is!

Have you noticed how easily the very young die? They make the best martyrs for any cause, the best soldiers, the best suicides. It's because they're held here so lightly: they haven't yet accumulated loves and responsibilities and commitments and all the things that tie us securely to this world. They can let go of it as easily and simply as lifting a finger. But as you get older, you begin to find things that are worth holding onto, forever.

Let Go of Your Worries Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images.

Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

Rumi

'Boneless,' even though we were thinking about servicing it to radio, it made more sense putting a vocal on there.
