Famous Quotes & Sayings

Paul Williams

Barry Lopez

What does it mean to grow rich? Is it to have red-blooded adventures and to make a ‘fortune,’ which is what brought the whalers and other entrepreneurs north? Or is it, rather, to have a good family life and to be imbued with a far-reaching and intimate knowledge of one’s homeland, which is what the Tununirmiut told the whalers at Pond’s Bay wealth was? Is it to retain a capacity for awe and astonishment in our lives, to continue to hunger after what is genuine and worthy? Is it to live at moral peace with the universe?

And, of course, people did sort of confuse them and assume if he could invent these complicated mysteries, then he could also solve them.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

When we let go of wanting something else to happen in this moment, we are taking a profound step toward being able to encounter what is here now. If we hope to go anywhere or develop ourselves in any way, we can only step from where we are standing.

So, in meditation practice, the best way to get somewhere is to let go of trying to get anywhere at all.
