“May I love myself just as I am.
May I sense my worthiness and well-being.
May I trust this life.
May I hold myself in compassion.
May I meet the suffering of others with compassion.”

- Jack Kornfield

“If you see someone falling
behind, walk beside them.

If you see someone being
ignored, find a way to include
them.

If someone has been
knocked down, help them get up.

Always remind people of their
worth.

One small act could
mean the world to them.”

When a person acts irresponsibly or unjustly, he is placed in the center of the village, alone and unfettered.

All work ceases, and every man, woman, and child in the village gathers in a large circle around the accused individual. Then each person in the tribe speaks to the accused, one at a time, each recalling the good things the person in the center circle has done in his lifetime.

Every incident, every experience that can be recalled with any detail and accuracy, is recounted. All of his positive attributes, good deeds, strengths, and kindnesses are recited carefully and at length.

This tribal ceremony often lasts for several days. At the end, the tribal circle is broken, a joyous celebration takes place, and the person is symbolically and literally welcomed back into the tribe.

- A ritual of the Babemba tribe of South Africa

“A stranger walked toward the gates of a new city.

By the side of the road sat an old wise woman who hailed the traveler:

‘Welcome.’

‘What kind of people are they who live here?’ the traveler asked.

‘How did you find them in the home city you left?’ asked the wise woman.

‘They were gossips, mean-spirited, and often selfish. Difficult to get along with.’

‘You’ll find the people of this city to be likewise.’

Later a second stranger passed by and was welcomed by the old woman.

‘What kind of people are they who live here?’ the second traveler asked.

‘How did you find them in your home city?’

‘They were fine people—industrious, open-minded, and easy to get along with.’

‘You’ll find the people of this city to be likewise.’”

- Jack Kornfield

“There are two ways of spreading light:

to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

“Doctor, my eyes,
they cannot see the sky.
Is this the prize
for having learned how not to cry?”

- Jackson Browne

“There are pictures of the people in my family where we look like the most awkward and desperate folk you ever saw, poster children for the human condition.”

- Anne Lamott

“I pray not to be such a whiny, self-obsessed brat, and give thanks that I am not quite as bad as I used to be.

Then something comes up, and I overreact and blame and sulk, and it feels like I haven't made any progress at all.

But, it turns out I'm less of a brat than before, and I hit the reset button much sooner, shake it off, and get my sense of humor back.”

- Anne Lamott

“Suffering is different from pain. Suffering is our reaction to the inevitable experiences of pain in life.

Our personal suffering can include anxiety, depression, fear, confusion, grief, anger, hurt, addiction, jealousy, and frustration. But suffering is not only personal.

Our collective suffering includes the sorrow of warfare and racism; the isolation and torture of prisoners everywhere; the unnecessary hunger, sickness, and abandonment of human beings on every continent.

This individual and collective suffering, the First Noble Truth, is what we are called upon to understand and transform.”

— Jack Kornfield

If we meet and I say, "Hi," that's a salutation.

If you ask me how I feel, that's consideration.

If we stop and talk awhile, that's a conversation.

If we understand each other, that's communication.

If we argue, scream and fight,
that's an altercation.

If later we apologize, that's reconciliation.

If we help each other home, that's cooperation.

And, all these actions added up,
make civilization.

“Happiness is amazing.

It's so amazing, it doesn't matter if it's yours or not.”
