Rabidrinath Tagore in his Gitanjali (XCV).

“When we practice this alertness¼it soon brings awareness that we each contain an unchanging, undisturbed, and eternal center of watchfulness- a center that has the capacity to see life as a great adventure, a play, a mystery school, and, finally, a blissful journey with no purpose other than to delight in every step along the way.”

Ma Deva Sarito. Intro to Osho Zen Tarot. Newleaf, Dublin. 1994.

“Where do we go when we die?”, he said.

“I don’t know”, the man said, “where are we now?”

                                    Cormac McCarthy (cities of the plain, p 268)
