“Oh, body, be held now by whom you love.
Whole years will be spent, underneath these impossible stars,
when dirt’s the only animal who will sleep with you
& touch you with
its mouth.”

There is
some kiss we want
with our
whole lives. the touch of
spirit on the
body…
At
night, I open the window and
ask the
moon to come
and press its
face
against
mine.
Breathe
into me.
- Jelaluddin Rumi, thirteenth century

“If you’ve trained properly, you wouldn’t feel frightened when you fall sick, nor be upset when someone dies. When you go into the hospital for treatment, determine in your mind that if you get better, that’s fine, and that if you die, that’s fine, too. I guarantee you that if the doctors told me I had cancer and was going to die in a few months, I’d remind the doctors, “Watch out, because death is coming to get you, too. It’s just a question of who goes first and who goes later.” Doctors are not going to cure death or prevent death. Only the Buddha was such a doctor, so why not go ahead and use the Buddha’s medicine?” — Ajahn Chah (via yogapocalypse)

“And I tell you, there is nowhere to go. Here is all. The whole existence culminates in this moment, it converges into this moment. The whole existence is pouring already into this moment. All that is, is pouring into this moment— it is here, now. A child is simply enjoying the energy. He has so much! He is running not because he has to reach somewhere but because he has too much; he has to run.” — Osho (via maksg)

we spend our lives searching for someone

“I feel sorry for those who have not, at least once in their lives, dreamt of turning into one or other of the nondescript objects that surround them: a table, a chair, an animal, a tree trunk, a sheet of paper […] They have no desire to get out of their skins, and this peaceable contentment, untroubled by any curiosity, is a tangible sign of the insupportable bumptiousness that is the most obvious prerogative of the majority of mankind.” — Michel Leiris, Metamorphosis, Out of the Self (via frenchtwist)

“Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you think, and everything you do, is for your self - and there isn’t one!” — Wei Wu Wei (via nirvikalpasamadhi)

“There is nothing of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surface of the waters.” — D.H. Lawrence, Apocalypse (via frenchtwist)
“There was such an incredible logic to kissing, such a metal-to-magnet pull between two people that it was a wonder that they found the strength to prevent themselves from succumbing every second. Rightfully, the world should be a whirlpool of kissing into which we sank and never found the strength to rise up again.” — Ann Patchett, Bel Canto (via budddha)
