If you pay attention to your ranking and comparison to others, you are competing with others.
If you ignore them, you can aim for the stars.

Every atom in your body spins and dances
like a bee around the queen,
like a whirling dervish,
like the stars spiraling in a galaxy.
Yet why do you sit motionlessly watching Dancing With the Stars?

Emotional and psychological dependency makes the heart vulnerable and prone to breaking when a relationship ends.
A soft and supple heart doesn’t break, it bends. Practice yoga for the heart.

Take a detour.
Discover small towns
and friendly faces
that don't grow along the highway.

Oh, now, now, now, the only now, and above all now, and there is no other now but thou now and now is thy prophet.

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
