Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.

Be curious. And however difficult life may seem,

there is always something you can do and succeed at.

It matters that you don’t just give up.

~Stephen Hawking

why do I know the way when I let it be?

inquiry for today~ what is this moment revealing?

how we try too hard…

Sorrow prepares you for joy

It violently sweeps everything out of your house,

so that new joy can find space to enter.

It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,

so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

It pulls up the rotten roots,

so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow

Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,

far better things will take their place.

~Rumi
