One's Choice...
Viktor Frankl was a survivor of the Nazi prison camps. His experience forced
him to see men and women at the lowest of their humanity, and what he saw was
this: “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human
freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose
one’s own way.”
I've included a link to his book, only because it is so wonderful.

Learning how to love is the goal .....
Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life -- not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light.

The Universe
They're all in the same plane. They're all going around in the same direction...It's perfect, you know. It's gorgeous. It's almost uncanny.
- Astronomer Geoffrey Macy describing the solar system

The thought...
The word manifest as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings...
As the shadow follows the body,
as we think, so we become."
- from the Dhammapada
I gleamed this quote from one of my favorite books Awakening the Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das. It is an international bestseller and changed my life. I highly recommend it.
