"Sagesses" 365 pensées de maîtres de l’Inde
de Danielle et Olivier Föllmi
"Grandir,
dépasser ce que vous êtes aujourd'hui.
Prenez appui sur vous-même.
N'imitez pas.
Ne prétendez pas avoir atteint le but
et n'essayez pas de brûler les étapes.
Essayez seulement de grandir."
Swami Prajnanpad

Truths, as I know them...
X
There is no recompense
Great wings can give flight
Or they can encumber
You must fall from
To fall into
There is no recompense
For the loss of one's self-respect
There are few things I understand
Including my failures
You always get
What's coming to you
One can never know
What secrets are kept from them
We must leave to our will
Those things for which we are unwilling
I know my heart will offer up its answers
Even when unquestioned
If you take your eye off the ball,
It will likely just bounce off your head
To love someone unconditionally
Is to throw one's reckoning to the ground
If you lean into the wind
Be sure to have your wings on
When you climb up, the view is better
But the fall lasts longer
But the fall lasts longer
When you make big mistakes
You make smaller ones next time
Our armour protects us from a myriad of things
Most of which is feeling
Most of which is feeling
Least of which is pain
When we dare to dream
We should check if we are sleeping
