‘Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.’

~ Mary Elisabeth Frye in 1932

125. If, out of concern for oneself, one thinks: “if I give it away, what shall I enjoy?” This is a fiendish state.

If out of concern for others one thinks: “if I enjoy it, what shall I give away?” This is a divine state.

-Santideva, from the Bodhicaryavatata, or, A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life

*The difference between egotistical desiring for oneself, and selflessness that gives to others.

“He was the handsomest man I had ever seen. He had a dark skin and enormous jet eyes, an expression of such emotion and fervor that it swept me off my feet. He had a thundering voice and the softest manner. Whenever he talked to anyone, he would stand, even in the street, holding their two hands, tenderly, as if he wanted to touch all human beings with the same great softness and tenderness.”

Anaïs Nin, from “Delta Of Venus,” originally published c. August 1977
