When I consider the brief span of my life absorbed into the eternity which comes before and after–memoria hospitis unius diei praetereuntis–the small space I occupy and which I see swallowed up in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I know nothing and which know nothing of me, I take fright and am amazed to see myself here rather than there: there is no reason for me to be here rather than there, now rather than then.Blaise Pascal, from Pensées; The Provincial Letters (Random House, 1941)

Question your thoughts.
Question your stories.
Question your assumptions.
Question your opinions.
Question your conclusions.
Question them all into utter emptiness, stillness and joy.
The keys to freedom are in your hands.
Use them.Adyashanti (via yeshecholwa)
