It’s as if you leave home and lose your wallet. It fell out of your pocket onto the road away back there, but as long as you don’t realize what happened you’re at ease — at ease because you don’t yet know what this ease is for. It’s for the sake of dis-ease at a later time. When you eventually see that you’ve really lost your money: That’s when you feel dis-ease — when it’s right in your face.

The same holds true with our bad and good actions. The Buddha taught us to acquaint ourselves with these things. If we aren’t acquainted with these things, we’ll have no sense of right or wrong, good or bad.

by Ajahn Chah, translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

When your cat licks you, she’s paying you a huge compliment. Kittens groom each other, and older cats who aren’t related but get along well also spend time grooming one another. Often they’ll get the spots that are hard for a cat to reach by themselves, such as the top of the head and inside the ears. Exchanging scents through grooming also increases the bond between a pair of cats. Source: Catster

All of our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us. ~Source Unknown

A bird’s eye takes up about 50 percent of its head;
our eyes take up about 5 percent of our head.
To be comparable to a bird’s eyes, our eyes would have
to be the size of baseballs. Source: mspca

There is no long distance about love, it always finds
a way to bring hearts together no matter how many miles
there are between them. ~Source Unknown

Who do you run to when the only person
who can make you stop crying,
is exactly the one who is making you cry?

Giving away a heart can hurt … having a broken heart
can be life threatening, even to the strongest people.
But, receiving one is the greatest gift.

Try to be mindful and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha. ~Ajahn Chah

If the moon never came out and the stars did not shine, it would be one lonely world …
just as would the heart and soul without love. Source Unknown

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with mustache. You won’t be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you. ~Ajahn Chah
