I needed this today. (From When Things Fall Apart, by Pema Chodron.)

Be the tree.
“Be patient, do nothing, cease striving. We find this advice disheartening and therefore unfeasible because we forget it is our own inflexible activity that is structuring the reality. We think that if we do not hustle, nothing will happen and we will pine away. But the reality is probably in motion and after a while we might take part in that motion. But one can’t know.” — Paul Goodman
Nostalgia
The Buddha and the butterfly
“I embrace emerging experience.
I participate in discovery.
I am a butterfly.
I am not a butterfly collector.
I want the experience of the butterfly.”
— William Stafford
(My intention for this year — and every year, every moment — in verse and in photo.)
