Where do you put your love?

I don't know where to put things, you know?... I really do have love to give! I just don't know where to put it! – Quiz Kid Donnie Smith, Magnolia

Love to give

Do you think there's a heaven?

I always used to think that Heaven is a place for people who spent their whole life doing good, but it isn’t. God is too merciful and kind to make a decision like that. Heaven is simply a place for people who were genuinely unable to be happy on earth. They told me here that people who kill themselves return to live their life all over again, because the fact that they didn’t like it the first time doesn’t mean they won’t fit in the second time. But the ones who really don’t fit in the world wind up here. They each have their own way of getting to Heaven. – Etgar Keret

Sad Songs Really Do Say So Much

Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else. – Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips)

Life, Love lie outside the confines of the turmoil in your head

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
-- Leo Buscaglia

 

Fractured Sense of Self

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self. – Marianne Williamson

Love your suffering, don't suffer your love

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else. – Herman Hesse




Why would you want to miss out on all that prime suffering?
