A quote from Thich Nhat Hanh on our apparent impermanence and yet our eternal nature (the wave and the ocean)
We are a wave appearing on the surface of the ocean. The body of a wave does not last very long – perhaps only ten to twenty seconds. The wave is subject to beginning and ending, to going up and coming down. The wave may be caught in the idea that ‘I am here now,…

“The immesurables” from the Buddha’s teachings
[The Buddha] used to make monks and laypeople alike practice a certain discipline called the “immeasurables,” because it made you bigger. You sat and you sent out waves of benevolence and good wishes to the whole world, not excluding anyone from your radius of benevolence. It’s a radius. You have to start off when you’re…
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Forgive” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria
Forgive I find freedom in forgiveness. Holding on to anger, fear, and resentment is like carrying a bunch of bricks everywhere I go. Each brick adds its own weight, and if I am not willing to release some of the load, the burden can become unbearably heavy. Forgiving not only allows me to lay down…
A quote from Rainer Maria Rilke on the “deep innerness of all things”
You are the deep innerness of all things, the last word that can never be spoken. To each of us you reveal yourself differently: to the ship as coastline, to the shore as a ship. —Rainer Maria Rilke Trans. by Anita Barrows
Spiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Excitement” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Emoción”)
Excitement I am alive with the exuberance of life. A child experiences the world for the first time in so many ways: a snowfall; a puppy’s energetic, wriggly attention; a rainbow; a cookie.

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Calm”(Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Calma”)
Calm Centered in Spirit, I am calm and relaxed. A windstorm near a peaceful lake can roil the water, turning it cloudy as the sediment below is stirred up. After the storm, the surface settles and the water clears. Worry can be like a storm that roils my mind, and anxiety can keep me rooted…
