where the mystery lies in waiting….

inquiry for today~ and from the inside we love even more deeply….

when to leap into life…..

All real living hurts as well as fulfils. Happiness comes when we have lived

and have a respite for sheer forgetting. Happiness, in the vulgar sense, is just a holiday experience.

The life-long happiness lies in being used by life; hurt by life, driven and goaded by life,

replenished and overjoyed with life, fighting for life’s sake.

That is real happiness. In the undergoing, a large part of it is pain.

~Anais Nin
