Black & white picture depicting the three crosses at the bottom, along with a few verses from Psalm 77:16-19 out of the NRSVUE Bible.

An image of angelic creatures, with large feathered wings, lounging like Roman gods by a glowing fluorescent blue ocean. The sky is filled with multiple moons and the atmosphere is lit by the warm, vibrant colors of a sunset with hues of orange, yellow, red, and purple.

There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space becomes our sole concern. #shalom #love
-- Abraham Joshua Heschel

MOMENT
What is your mind like right now? Whatever its likeness, just recognize it without trying to change anything. #moment #mind

A statue depicting a man with a full beard and ripped abs, reading from a book he is holding in his left hand.

Epictetus, like all Stoics, believed that true power comes from within. We don’t control what happens, but we can control how we respond. When we start to own our reactions instead of blaming, that’s when we begin to grow.
#Epictetus #stoic #quotes

Colorful swirls of the many storms on the surface of Jupiter against the black expanse of space

Before creation, a presence existed
Self-contained, complete, formless, voiceless, mateless
Changeless
Which yet pervaded itself
With unending motherhood.
[Lao-Tzu]

For years, I sought to escape my mind. Once I became fascinated by it, getting high lost its allure. bit.ly/4kI1nQC
