“If you may count every drop of water in the ocean
and count every grain of sand in the sea –
multiply it by a thousand and that’s how much I love you.”

“Don’t take anything personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality,
their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions
and actions of others,
you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
Inverted Beginning
“In our judgment of human transactions,
the law of optics is reversed;
we see the most indistinctly the objects
which are close around us.”
Richard Whately
Arrow of Illusion
“He who knows that this body is like froth,
and has learnt that it is as
unsubstantial as a mirage,
will break the flower-pointed arrow of illusion,
and never see the king of death.”
The Dhammapada (c. BC 300)

“Love is always thirsty
and looking for a thirsty lover.
Love and lover follow each other
like day and night.”
Rumi
Child’s Play
“His laughter, which was never far below
the surface of his conversation,
now sparkled like a splash of water in sunlight.”
Joseph Lelyveld
Gentle Lap
“Nothing in the world is more
flexible and yielding than water.
Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong,
none can withstand it,
because they have no way to change it.
So the flexible overcome the adamant,
the yielding overcome the forceful.
Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.”
Lao Tzu

“If you limit your choices only to
what seems possible or reasonable,
you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,
and all that is left is a compromise.”
Robert Fritz

“To serve the cause of water adequately… We must get to know it in its true being. And how do we do this? Why, by treating it in the very way exemplified by its own behavior; that is, whenever we encounter it, we wash the tablet of our souls clean of all other impressions in order to allow the being of water to make its imprint on us.”
