Staying occupied is a socially sanctioned way of remaining distant from our pain.

Be tough in the way a blade of grass is: rooted, willing to lean, and at peace with what is around it.

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

Guillaume Apollinaire

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Don't worry about achieving. Don't worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can.

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

William S. Burroughs
