The glass is already broken – Achaan Chaa

You see this goblet?” asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai meditation master.
“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it.
It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in
beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it.
But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or
my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and
shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is
already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

– Achaan Chaa

Credit – Theodore Roosevelt

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is
no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who
spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at
least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

– Theodore Roosevelt

Desire – Eduardo Galeano

“Life was alone, no name, no memory; it had hands, but no one to touch. It had a tongue, but no one to talk to. Life was one, and one was none. Then Desire drew his bow. The arrow of desire split life down the middle, and life was two. When they caught sight of each other, they laughed. When they touched each other, they laughed again.”

– Eduardo Galeano
