“Mindfulness is not chasing the moment but sipping the nectar of the moment.”― Amit Ray, Mindfulness Living in the Moment – Living in the Breath
“It does seem to me, that herein we see the rare virtue of a strong individual vitality, and the rare virtue of thick walls, and the rare virtue of interior spaciousness. Oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. Be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the Pole. Like the great dome of St. Peter’s, and like the great whale, retain, O man! in all seasons a temperature of thine own.”― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
Steadiness in all seasons, circumstances
Contentment beneath waves
Ease amidst chaos
Silence below noise
Clarity above distractions
Wandering and curiosity, no map
Hope and resilience
Nectar of presence in today
Joy on the whole journey
To keep going, taking the long cut
A temperature of thine own
“It is not down on any map; true places never are.”― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
