Ransetsu
| |
The moon shining full,
smoke drifting away
over water. |
Rainer Maria Rilke
| |
I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. |

And if the earth no longer knows your name,
Whisper to the silent earth: I'm flowing.
To the flashing water say: I am. |
Anthony Robbins
| |
It is in our moments of decision that our destiny is formed. |
Theodore Roethke
| |
Deep in their roots,
All flowers keep the light. |
Eleanor Roosevelt
| |
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. |
| |
You must do the thing you think you cannot do. |
Suzuki Roshi
| |
You have a saying, "to kill two birds with one stone." But our way is to kill just one bird with one stone. |
Jalal Ad-Din Rumi
| |
We can't help being thirsty,
moving toward the voice
of water. |
| |
Do you think I know what I'm doing?
That for one breath or half-breath I belong to myself?
As much as a pen knows what it's writing,
or the ball can guess where it's going next. |
| |
Journeys bring power and love
back into you. If you can't go somewhere,
move in the passageways of the self.
They are like shafts of light,
always changing, and you change
when you explore them. |
| |
No more words. Hear only the voice within. |
Ryokan
| |
We speak of falsehood as completely false
And of truth as completely true;
But outside of truth there is no falsehood
And outside of falsehood there is no truth.
How cna those who practice the Way
Diligently search for the truth?
If we examine our own hearts,
There is delusion, there is truth. |
