Fortunately the car ended up near the curb, where we could leave it for now.”

Water flows from high mountain sources.
Water runs deep in the Earth.

and sustains all life.

Our food can be grown and raised because of water. Water is a good friend, a bodhisattva, which nourishes the many thousands of species on Earth. Its benefits are infinite. Reciting this gatha before turning on the faucet or drinking a glass of water enables us to see the stream of fresh water in our own hearts so that we feel completely refreshed. To celebrate the gift of water is to cultivate awareness and help sustain our life and the lives of others.”

“Turning points are not something we can fake through action. They come after long--often dark--periods of work and preparation.

He'd changed clothes. Dressed in loose sweatpants, bare feet and a bare chest, he lay next to the baby as the fire flickered in front of them.
Amber was watching the flames with the drowsy wonder that only a baby could show. Her lashes lay low, sleep edging her expression as Jonas softly hummed a lullaby.”

“Turning something into low resolution data does seem to make it worth less in the modern world.”
“Turning something over to the Holy Spirit is a leap of faith that lets go of attempting to control outcomes. The core of alcoholism, anorexia, bulimia, smoking and a host of things the world calls addictions is control. The little willingness the Holy Spirit asks is the key to letting go of the attempt to manage the body and the world, which is the insane attempt to maintain a self-concept image that God did not create. An idea to contemplate from the Course is this: "Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world." The requirement is to change your thinking, not to focus on behavior and form. Behavior flows from thought, and transformation of the mind is synonymous with changing thought patterns from ego-based to Spirit-based.”

“Turning the other cheek isn't submissive. It's defiant.”
“Turning the other cheek only empowers persecution, giving the impression that prejudice is the truth - Jesus didn't mansplain Mary to turn the other cheek, he revolted at her persecutors, like any decent human being should.”
