 "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do." -- Helen Keller

Mind cannot see itself-
Subject and object cannot be dual;
Therefore, to see the mind
You must look and probe with the eye of wisdom.

When probed and examined analytically
With such analytic investigation
The mind is like the wick of a lamp
Illumined only through its own radiance.

-Milarepa, "Drinking the Mountain Stream: Songs of Tibet’s Beloved Saint"

"To seek the living manifestation of spiritual and ethical values
themselves, regardless of the label they come under, is to discover
unexpected kinship... In this view, faith is no longer a matter of a allegiance
to a specific community or identity, but a ceaseless search for the
beautiful ways to realize the human potential in every given age and
place." -- Mohja Kahf

Many of our fears are tissue-paper-thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.

-Brendan Francis
