Two related quotes are my favorites:

"The beach... The only place where s alt lowers your blood pressure...."

"My idea of Happy Hour is a nap."

Yogananda's quote is what I need today. As the rain pours down and stops me from getting to work, my mind wants to take me to scary places in the future...when it does I will think of this quote. Thank you.

I like Henry Miller's words. A day on Salt Spring Island comes to mind...I can still feel the water lapping around my feet.

I like Yogananda's best, and Henry Miller's second. A great exercise, thanks.

I like the one of Yogananda because while I value stillness, I also need to stir actions toward my values.

So many good ones! I like the idea of taking the space even when the world doesn’t give it. “When the world seems to not be giving any space, sometimes you just have to take it”
