Look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass them on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you.

Look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass them on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you.

Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.

If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness, when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. but if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding; when you look out, more awareness; when you wake up, more wakefulness; as you go about your day, more inner happiness.

The thoughts that occur to me while i’m running are like clouds in the sky. clouds of all different sizes. they come and they go, while the sky remains the same sky always. the clouds are mere guests in the sky that pass away and vanish, leaving behind the sky.

When you look into the faces of these quiet creatures who don't know how to tell stories--who are mute, who can't make themselves heard, who fade into the woodwork, who only think of the perfect answer after the fact, after they're back at home, who can never think of a story that anyone else will find interesting--is there not more depth and more meaning in them? you can see every letter of every untold story swimming on their faces, and all the signs of silence, dejection, and even defeat. you can even imagine your own face in those faces, can't you?

Just as a human soul that faces great difficulties also faces great opportunities for spiritual growth, so a human society that faces destruction also faces the opportunity to enter a period of renaissance. i think that, barring an accident, the wish to survive will keep us from a nuclear war.

I was supposed to take the ball out. i told coach, 'there's no way i'm taking the ball out, unless i can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. i told him, 'have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'
