“If you ever find yourself looking for a miracle,
look at the grass growing beneath your feet,
at blossoms turning to fruit,
at the tiny acorn that grows into the giant oak.
Nature is a world of miracles.
You are one of them.”

— Quiet Lotus

“The universe is wider than our views of it.”

“Rather than trying to think positive thoughts, let your thoughts come and go as they will. Look up. Smile. Drink in the sky. Do little things that make your heart sing. There may be days when it feels like the music has run out of notes. That’s okay. It’s okay to feel sad, to feel empty or numb. Give every feeling space to be just what it is. Stay present with it as long as it stays with you, and then be ready to let it go when it leaves. All feelings are visiting, like the weather and like the seasons, and the constancy of change is always bringing fresh colour to our inner landscapes and skies. Let gratitude and your curiosity find the overlooked wonder and small joys in the simple things, the twinkle in each moment. See what fills your thoughts when your soul is content.”

“Life is available only in the present moment.”

“This road is so long,” sighed the little mouse. “How will we ever get to where we’re meant to be?”
“I believe,” said the elephant, “that when roads are very long, the only way to get to where you’re meant to be is to take very, very short steps.”

— Quiet Lotus
