No
matter how many times we’ve thought that thought in the past, the very
fact that we can shift to another thought reminds us it’s not permanent.

Via Daily Dharma: The Impermanence of Thoughts
Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - March 19, 2023 💌
I'm explicitly making my life a teaching by expressing the lessons I've learned so it becomes a map for other people. Everybody's life can be like that if they choose to make it so, choosing to reflect on what they've been through and share it with others.

Via Daily Dharma: Balancing Care and Nonattachment
Bringing
order to clutter, I begin to see, is not just about putting my spices
in alphabetical order. It’s about balancing the twin poles of spiritual
life: cherishing life and holding it sacred, while knowing that it will
pass away. It’s about learning to care for the things and people that
are precious to me—and, when it’s time, freely letting them go.

Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - March 15, 2023 💌
“Look at the universe and see all of the forces – the heavy ones, the light ones, the destructive ones, the creative ones – find what your part is in it. And if your part is that of the Bodhisattva, that of reducing the suffering of all human beings, and that’s all your work is, you just do it and do it and do it until there is no you in there, there is merely this instrument for the relieving of suffering of all beings. And that is one of the parts of the dance, of which another and equally important [part] of the dance is that which creates all the suffering in the universe. That’s what’s so far out about it.”
