"It is a defect in language that words suggest permanent realities and people do not see through this deception. But mere words cannot create reality. Thus people speak of a final goal and believe it is real, but it is a form of words and the goal as such is without substance. The one who realizes the emptiness of objects and concepts does not depend on words. Perfect wisdom is beyond definition, and pathlessness is the way to it." - unknown
"Problems are not the problem. My problem with the problems is the problem!" - anonymous
"Most of the evils of life arise from man's being unable to sit still in a room." - Blaise Pascal
"If I were to begin life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more." - Jules Renard

All…
dreams of the same mind
and in a wink,
gone;
and never really here.
Imaginings of god;
a tapestry...
woven from a single thread.
- a poem that I wrote after a conversation with D. King (a bodhisattva) about the passing of Thich Nhat Hanh
