“Enlightenment–
that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance–never happens by accident.
It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses.”
-Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano, “Landscapes of Wonder”

That powerful quote appeared on today’s “High Plains Warrior” Blog by Thomas Ward…so what are you still doing reading “newspapers”, unconsciously and predictably fingering the corpses of Tree Beings as your precious eyes absorb the violence from a non-Practicing Outer World? Is this TRULY the Way you wish to nourish your cells? And you are worrying about how many fat grams are in that Bagel and Cream Cheese? ilg says, worry less about your physical nutrition and more about your spiritual nutrition!
That quote inspired me greatly…thank you, Warrior ThOMas!
In return,

“No athlete is crowned but by the sweat of his brow.”
– Jerome
