Conquer Yourself
It is better
to conquer yourself
than to win
a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours.
It cannot be
taken from you,
not by angels
or by demons,
heaven or hell.
(Buddha, c. 563 BC – 483 BC)
And the funny thing is
The battle is only inside of you
And when you conquer yourself
You suddenly realize
You have always been alright
You have always been enough
What you chased away
Was simply a filter
A bundle of thoughts
That covered your true vision
And the funny thing is
There is no battle at all
This Strange Happiness
“Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.” (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
You can’t try to sleep
You simply sleep
You can’t try to awaken
You simply wake up
All your efforts
Create more resistance
Maybe the time has come
To be okay, to be okay
Just as you are
Alive Love
“Love is not something that is a sort of rare commodity, everybody has it.”
“There are no wrong feelings.”
“The meaning of being alive is just being alive.”
(Alan Watts)
One of those days
When all seems clear
All seems light
And we let it all be
Humanness
“Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness. “ (Deborah Day)
The beauty is in the differences
The light comes in through the cracks
We are a unique blend of complexities
Being able to create ourselves
Analyze ourselves
Abstract ourselves
What an incredible journey
We have as humans
Keep On Climbing
“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.” (Andy Rooney)
And as we always say
It is all about today
The little things
The words we say
The feelings, the encounters
The falls, the lessons
And we never get it done
So just relax and keep on
Climbing
Maria Jacobs
