that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

If you live in fear of losing your stuff and money,
it is clear that they own you.

or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

Only no-mind is original and radical.

the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young.
Your whole life becomes a flame,
and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
- Elizabeth Warren

in what seems like just another ordinary day.
(her friend is scheduled for cancer surgery
and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.)

whether it is to sail or to watch -
we are going back from whence we came.

cannot be frozen by adversity,
as the water that flows from the spring
cannot congeal in winter.
