“One of the things called forth by the Imagist movement in poetry was neatness; and when we say keenness, we mean neatness. A knife that is keen is also a knife that cuts neatly; it isn't brutal. Sharpness is different from brutality. Brutality is clumsy: it is wide - it has a lot of fist and thumb and no delicate finger.” MeanDifferentCuttingMovementFingersWideKnivesDelicateBrutalFistsThumbsBrutalityClumsySharpnessNeatnessKeenness Author:Eli Siegel
“Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you’re not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn’t mean careless. It is not that you don’t care about others, not that you don’t have compassion or are unfriendly. Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not conceit but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence.” IfsMeanCareSimpleCompassionFitDignityShiningDon't CareWideBeing RealCarelessConceitCarefreeUnfriendly Author:Tsoknyi Rinpoche
