More quotes by Wayne Muller
Like a path through the forest, Sabbath creates a marker for ourselves so, if we are lost, we can find our way back to our center.
Wayne Muller
We become what we love. Whatever you are giving your time and attention to, day after day, is the kind of person you will eventually become.
Wayne Muller
A gift is like a seed it is not an impressive thing. It is what can grow from the seed that is impressive. If we wait until our seed becomes a tree before we offer it, we will wait and wait, and the seed will die from lack of planting.... The miracle is not just the gift the miracle is in the offering, for if we do not offer, who will?
Wayne Muller
If we do not allow for a rhythm of rest in our overly busy lives, illness becomes our Sabbath— our pneumonia, our cancer, our heart attack, our accidents create Sabbath for us.
Wayne Muller
We are called to be strong companions and clear mirrors to one another, to seek those who reflect with compassion and a keen eye how we are doing, whether we seem centered or off course ... we need the nourishing company of others to create the circle needed for growth, freedom and healing.
Wayne Muller
The more spacious and larger our fundamental nature, the more bearable the pains in living.
Wayne Muller
When we do what we love, again and again, our life comes to hold the fragrance of that thing.
Wayne Muller
Meditation helps me feel the shape, the texture of my inner life. Here, in the quiet, I can begin to taste what Buddhists would call my true nature, what Jews call the still, small voice, what Christians call the holy spirit.
Wayne Muller
Our lives are made of these moments. Simple words and actions, taken together, weave a single day, and our days become our life. Every gesture is a seed, and the seed determines the harvest.
Wayne Muller
Emptiness is the pregnant void out of which all creation springs. But many of us fear emptiness. We prefer to remain...surrounded by things...we imagine are subject to our control.
Wayne Muller
When we come close to those things that break us down, we touch those things that also break us open. And in that breaking open, we uncover our true nature.
Wayne Muller
All life has emptiness at its core it is the quiet hollow reed through which the wind of God blows and makes the music that is our life.
Wayne Muller
What we love and what captures our curiosity draws us forward into some place of great destiny.
Wayne Muller
True kindness is rooted in a deep sense of abundance, out of which flows a sense that even as I give, it is being given back to me.
Wayne Muller
What is at the center of your life? Carefully examine where you spend your attention, your time. Look at your appointment book, your daily scheduleÂ…. This is what receives your care and attention--an by definition, your love.
Wayne Muller
Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.
Wayne Muller
Effortlessness is the ability to slow down and listen for the spaces between the joints... Deep within all things there is a natural rhythm, a music of opening and closing, expansion and contraction.
Wayne Muller
Because we do not rest we lose our way...Poisoned by the hypnotic belief that good things come only through unceasing determination and tireless effort, we never truly rest. And for want of rest, our lives are in danger.
Wayne Muller
Be not afraid. A kind life, a life of spirit, is fundamentally a life of courage-the courage simply to bring what you have, to bring who you are.
Wayne Muller
The heart of most spiritual practices is simply this: Remember who you are. Remember what you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true. Remember that you will die and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live.
