“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.”
— John O’Donohue (via bakejunt)
“Don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens - the main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.”

—Richard Serra (via rerylikes)
"Emptiness" by Anthony de Mello
Emptiness
Sometimes there would be a rush
of noisy visitors and the silence
of the monastery would be shatteredThis would upset the disciples; not
the Master who seemed just as content
with the noise as with the silenceTo his protesting disciples he said
one day, “Silence is not the absence
of sound, but the absence of self”Anthony de Mello; “One Minute Wisdom”, p. 142
“There is another kind of seeing that involves a letting go.”
—Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (via aperfectcommotion)
“The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.”
—John Dewey (via elemenop)
