"The frightening nature of knowledge leaves one no alternative but
to become a warrior. It is the consistent choice of the path with heart
which makes the warrior different from the average person.  She knows
that a path has heart when she is one with it, when she experiences a
great peace and pleasure traversing its length.  Any path is only a path,
and there is no affront, to oneself or to others,  in dropping it if that is
what your heart tells you. . . Look at every path closely and deliberately.
Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself and
yourself alone one question: Does this path have a heart? If the path
does, it is good. If not, it is of no use.

A woman of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and
then she looks and rejoices and laughs and then she sees and knows.
She knows that her life will be over altogether too soon.  She knows that
she as well as everybody else is not going anywhere.  She knows because
she sees… A woman of knowledge endeavors and sweats and puffs and
if one looks at her she is just like any ordinary woman, except that the
folly of her life is under control. "
 
~  Carlos Castenada
Have patience! In time, even grass becomes milk. -Charan Singh, mystic
(1916-1990)

"There are people whom one loves immediately and forever. Even to know they are alive in the world with one is quite enough."
--Nancy Spain, writer

Those who are not upset with problems
are not attached to happiness,
are liberated from suffering and happiness
and will go to the city of the sorrowless state (blissful state of peace)
~~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
