Live
(page 11)
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.
Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle — my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
In Los Angeles, I drive a hybrid and live in a very simple home. Anything you do from carrying a canteen of water to starting a recycling program in your office makes a difference. Reusing what you already have has always been green - from clothes to boxes to glass jars from the supermarket.
Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.
