A human being is a part of the whole called
by us universe, a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling
as something separated from the rest, a kind of
optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting
us to our personal desires and to affection for a
few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to
free ourselves from this prison by widening our
circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
By Albert Einstein

Too long have I lived among those who
hate peace. Psalm 120:6

Have you ever sat very quietly with closed
eyes and watched the movement of your own
thinking? Have you watched your mind working?
or rather, has your mind watched itself in operation,
just to see what your thoughts are, what your feelings are,
how you look at the trees, at the flowers, at the birds, at
people, how you respond to a suggestion or react to a new
idea? Have you ever done this?
By Jiddu Krishnamurti

Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Psalm 85:10
