"In life you have 2 choices
U can lean wit it or U can rock wit it"

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered.”
-Aldous Huxley
"God, I rest in You. I wait patiently for you to flood my awareness with the Love that You are. I look past the illusions of lack, limitation and sin the mind sees, and acknowledge that You alone exist. You are Light, in whom there is no darkness. You are Truth, in whom there is no falsity, You are Love, in whom there is no fear. How marvelous it is to know that there is onlv Your Perfection here, and nothing else whatsoever."

"The moment you wake up, right away, you can smile. That's a smile of enlightenment. You are aware that a new day is beginning, that life is offering you twenty-four brand-new hours to live, and that that's the most precious of gifts."
-Thich Nhat Hanh
Song of the day: Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It
