Compassion
You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
– Dalai Lama

We Are Made for Goodness
We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know. We are made to tell the world that there are no outsiders. All are welcome: black, white, red, yellow, rich, poor, educated, not educated, male, female, gay, straight, all, all, all. We all belong to this family, this human family, God’s family.
– Desmond Tutu

What Do You Love?
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, and what amazes you with love and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.

Looking Within
When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life turns.
– Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Beauty and Humility
During the month of February, the theme of the quotes are love and compassion.
Beauty and Humility
“Whenever you make something with love, you feel humbled. You could not make such beautiful things on your own. It must come through divine inspiration. In that way, beauty and humility go together. It is an act of surrender to the divine source. The divine inspiration uses your body, your hands and your talents as a channel for beauty.”
– Satish Kumar, Heron Dance Interview (Issue 11)

To be a contemplative is to be a watch in the night for the approach of Mystery. And it is a readiness to be transformed in an engagement with that Mystery.
