People travel to wonder at the height of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of rivers,

Today is my day to practice whimsey,
skip on the beach, and play with the waves,

The unpredictable and irregular happenings
of life's cycles are an inherent part of their nature.

Life repeats itself mindlessly -
unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.
That's why Buddhists call it the wheel of life and death,
the wheel of time.
It moves like a wheel: birth is followed by death,
death is followed by birth;
love is followed by hate, hate is followed by love;
success is followed by failure,
failure is followed by success. Just see!
If you can watch just for a few days,
you will see a pattern emerging, a wheel pattern.
One day, a fine morning, you are feeling so good and so happy,
and another day you are so dull,
so dead that you start thinking of committing suicide.
And just the other day you were so full of life,
so blissful that you were feeling thankful to God,
that you were in a mood of deep gratefulness,
and today there is great complaint
and you don't see the point why one should go on living...
And it goes on and on, but you don't see the pattern.
Once you see the pattern, you can get out of it.
- Osho

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,

The effort to understand the universe is one
of the very few things that lifts human life
a little above the level of farce,

unless it agrees with your own reason

If you aren't in the moment,
