Healing is both death and resurrection.
Excerpt from ‘What to do with the knives we find between our ribs" by Ceres mentamorphisis (via wnq-writers)
People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.
Mike McHargue (via alittlebitoflace)
It’s not ur job to care about people who don’t care about u
Meditation is just a courage to be silent and alone. Slowly slowly, you start feeling a new quality to yourself, a new aliveness, a new beauty, a new intelligence, which is not borrowed from anybody, which is growing within you. It has roots in your existence.

"You get the message across so eloquently." "You get the main point across and get people questioning."
Iguaza Falls, on the border of Argentina and Brazil, is one of the widest waterfalls on Earth.
The origin of one’s illness is not always a biological or intrapsychic one; it is oftentimes a social or environmental one (Arrendondo, Tovar-Blank & Parham, 2008). The longstanding tradition of over-medicating and turning patients’ attention inward to focus on the biological or psychological origins of their suffering, runs the risk of oppressing patients further by denying the effects of their social context. Structural racism and classism require structural change. Focusing on the multiculturalism, empathy, understanding the ‘other’, identifying microaggressions, and empowerment are all helpful to create greater awareness and consciousness of the problems we face. However, ideological changes are more likely to happen by means of a radical confrontation with a racist and classist system.

What is the difference between ‘I like you’ and ‘I love you? Beautifully answered by the Buddha: 'When you like a flower you just pluck it; when you love a flower you water it daily.’ The one who understands this understands life.
