When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.
Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.
In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.
Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.
Each solstice is a domain of experience unto itself. At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.
Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together. Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other. Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet; it is a fatality, a question of time; that is all.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
We never look deeply into the quality of a tree; we never really touch it, feel its solidity, its rough bark, and hear the sound that is part of the tree. Not the sound of wind through the leaves, not the breeze of a morning that flutters the leaves, but its own sound, the sound of the trunk and the silent sound of the roots.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair
And finally Winter, with its bitin', whinin' wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.
We have the capacity to receive messages from the stars and the songs of the night winds.
In October, a maple tree before your window lights up your room like a great lamp. Even on cloudy days, its presence helps to dispel the gloom.
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
Quietly...softly, God taps on our tense shoulders with His love.
...strands of your hair and tendrils of the wind spin into nothingness the memories of that day...
Never forget:we walk on hell,gazing at flowers.
