“Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.” Quote by Roger Housden
“This question of love begins and ends with the willingness to be welcoming to one's own experience as a loving action towards oneself. It may be dark, it may be light, it may be joyous, it may be sorrowful, but it's your experience, and therefore, your life. As we have that kind of loving response towards our own life, then life itself in terms of the outside world, begins to feel different.” WorldFeelsKindMayDifferentEndsLightActionTermDarkLove IsResponseOneselfWelcomeWillingnessJoyousOutside WorldSorrowful Author:Roger Housden

“I woke up early one morning a couple of years ago and felt the tenderness of my being alone, the bitter sweetness of it. It has many colors, being alone. I walked out into my living room and I can say honestly that everything was pouring with life - the red sofa, the chairs with their patterns of roses, even the coffee table with its scattering of books. Everything was alive with the presence of being. Seeing the world though those eyes, I realized that I could never really be alone.” WorldYearsI CanBookEyeFeltRoomsMorningAliveSeeingColorCoupleRedYears AgoTablesRosePatternsCoffeeI RealizedHonestlyBitterChairsTendernessSweetnessLiving RoomPouringUp EarlySeeing The WorldSofas Author:Roger Housden
