What does a door, a rose, and meditation have in common? Perhaps more than one might think. Some quotes.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one that has opened before us.”
~~Helen Keller
“What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?”
~~ANONYMOUS
“What does the aroma of a rose sound like.”
~~ME
“Love should be a tree whose roots are deep in the Earth,
but whose branches extend into heaven.”
~~Bertrand Russell
“Spiritual growth is honed and perfected through practice.
Like an instrument, it must be played.
Like a path, it must be walked.
Whether through prayer or meditation or worship or good works,
you must prove yourself in the direction of spiritual betterment.
Spiritual understanding never becomes deep unless you subject yourself to the spiritual discipline of practicing your belief.”
~~Kent Nerburn
“Sometimes it takes getting completely lost,
before you find what you were looking for in the first place.”
~~ME
“To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.”
~~William Blake
“The flower is the form, the scent, the color, and the beauty that is the whole of it. Tear it to pieces actually or verbally, then it is not a flower, only the remembrance of what it was, which the flower is never. Meditation is the whole flower in its beauty, withering and living.”
~~J. Krishnamurti
“Trying to experience serenity by striving harder for it, is the same as a dog trying to catch his own tail by spinning faster in a circle.”
~~ME
It seems almost as if the words and deeper conceptualizations of door, rose, and meditation are one.
