“To be truly free one must take on the basic conditions as they are – painful, impermanent, open, imperfect – and then be grateful for the impermanence and the freedom it grants us.”
-Gary Snyder "Etiquette Of Freedom"

day one hundred three - story people
"I held out my hands & asked where I could help & somebody grabbed me & pointed me towards the future & said, You've got your work cut out for you & I said, isn't there anything easier? & he laughed & said you could dig around in the past, but it's just busywork & that made perfect sense so I shrugged & started right where I was, along with everyone else."

day eighty two - krishnamurti on love
You Are a Great Mystery -Krishnamurti on Love
"The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed."
"...when there is love you have nothing more to do. Then where you are, you have heaven; then all seeking comes to an end."
"When you get rid of attachment, there will be love."
"Love cannot come to those who have a desire to hold on to it, or who like to become identified with it."
"One has seen the torture of love, the dependence on it, the fear of it, the loneliness of not being loved, and the everlasting seeking of it in all kinds of relationships, never finding it to one's complete satisfaction. So one asks, is love satisfaction and, at the same time, a torture hedged about by jealousy, envy, hatred, anger, dependence?"
"When there is love in your heart, in your eyes, in your blood, in your face, you are a different human being."
"If you suffer pain, anxiety, ambition, and soon, you don’t know what love is. You want to have power, position, better house, better cars. Have you ever understood that a man who is ambitious has no love in his heart."
"You cannot practice love. If you do, then it is a self-conscious activity of the 'me' which hopes through loving to gain a result."
"...love alone can transform the present madness and insanity in the world - not systems, not theories, either of the left or of the right."
"The problem, if you love it, is as beautiful as the sunset. If you are antagonistic to the problem, you will never understand."
"You know, if you love something, you never get tired of it -- I mean love in which there is no seeking of a result, no wanting something out of it. When you love something, it is not self-fulfillment, therefore there is no disappointment, there is no end."
