Quiet Wordless Self-Contained Joy
A quiet, wordless, self-contained joy,
desiring nothing from without and resting content with everything,
remains free of all egoistic likes and dislikes.

of a heart fortified within itself.

Little Gems and Tidbits

90% of what you are up against is worrying about what you are up against. Having a plan helps you not feel knocked about by life.

There is too little silence in the world and too little silence in people to connect with the Reality of things. Words and language are necessary but keep us external to deeper realities and very seldom are capable of expressing those deeper realities. People are fearful of that silence but to really know who you are you should be enriched by that silence and rooted in it even when you are speaking. All the talk, all the chatter obscures being part of the vastness of the universe and the purity of God, which is the birthright in common origin of us and of everything.
