Eckhart Tolle:
Can I be the space for this?" is the primordial spiritual practice. Usually, or always, you will find that, yes, you can be.

Beyond language
Norman Fischer:
When in daily living we learn to return again and again to where we are in body, emotion, and mind, we are learning to hold our language and views lightly, to see that they are ever-evolving currents of being, that they are not only ours but belong to everyone else as well.

Marvelous understanding
St. John of the Cross:
I was sad one day & went for a walk. I sat in a field. A rabbit noticed my condition & came near. It often does not take more than that to help at times: to just be close to creatures who are so full of knowing, so full of love that they don't chat, they just gaze with their marvelous under-standing.

Inoma:
Johann told me he grew up during ww2 in an institution for children who were said to be difficult to educate..They mistreated him and several times he tried to escape. A few times he was successful, but always for a few days only. One time he ran into the forest and slept there. In the morning he woke up, opened his eyes and saw directly into the eyes of a salamander quietly sitting near him. "We gazed, and then," Johann said, "I could cry for the first time in years."
