Quote by Pema Chödrön

“To what do we really commit ourselves? Is it to palying it safe and to manipulating our life and our whole world, so that it will give us security and confirmation?...Do we refuge in small satisfied actions, of both speech and mind? Or do we take refuge in warriorship, in taking a leap, in going beyond our usual safety zones?”

“How might language separate us or draw us together? If our words center around grasping, creating, using, knowing, efficiency, step-by-step procedures, problem-solving, interventions, tools, and a sense of good-better-best (an ever-upward trend), we are likely attending mostly from a left hemisphere that is operating more or less autonomously, without support from the right's perspective. There is often a sense of judgement and certainty, along with an intent to guide, shape or control another that arises from and is reflected in this way of speaking. Because the left hemisphere has a tendency toward either/or, good/bad distinctions, there is often the sense of preference or wanting to get rid of something in favor of something else (ie: getting rid of sadness in favor of happiness or peace).”

“Sometimes the light is hidden in plain sight, blocked out by our egos. Wisdom bids us to move out of our own way in order to perform the sacred right, to shine our light upon the waters of the earth. If the brave soul attempts this Herculean feat, it may be surprised. Surprised that new life comes into our hope dreams and aspirations. My wish is that the world be allowed to see your true and magnificent soul, untethered from the darkness of the ego.”
