The meaning of life is just to be alive.

It is so plain and so obvious

and so simple.

And yet, everyone rushes around

in a great panic

as if it were necessary

to achieve something

beyond themselves.

~Alan Watts

it’s always a long way from here….

inquiry for today~ sometimes you can soften….

here to there

It’s all purification from here on out.

A conscious being recognizes that he or she

has taken birth and the purpose of their incarnation

is to relieve suffering.

~Ram Dass
