Daily Zen Quote - June 30, 2017

You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don't know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don't know who your friends are, you don't know what you owe anybody, you don't know what anybody owes you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.
~ Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Daily Zen Quote - June 24, 2017

In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet.
Some will test you,

some will love you,
and some will teach you.
But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you.
They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it's worth it.
