Eckhart Tolle - the single most vital step...
“So the single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger. One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it.”

Margaret Young: Often people attempt to live...
'Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.'
Action and reaction...
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error,
change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear;
out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

For Our Mothers...
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
- Abraham Lincoln
Mothers have as powerful an influence over the welfare of future generations as all other earthly causes combined.
- John S.C. Abbott
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
- Sophia Loren
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men – from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.
