We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.
Wisdom begins in wonder.
The still waters of a lake reflect the beauty around it. When the mind is still, the beauty of the self is seen reflected in it.
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.
Your words have the power to create and to heal. Use them wisely.
Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal.
