Wisdom & Folly

Regard everyday events as messages about reality. Trust in those messages, don’t fight reality. Don’t defend against it. Read it like you would a newspaper. Read everything that happens to you and to others as pertinent news about the reality of being human, of being you. For every action we take, reality leaves little messages about its wisdom or folly.

Let the young rain of tears come, let the calm hands of grief come. It’s not all as evil as you think~ Rolf Jacobsen

Doesn’t everything die at last and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~ Mary Oliver (The Summer day)

We do not know where death awaits us, so let us wait for it everywhere. To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. ~ Michel De Montaigne
