Some reading excerpts (2011/01/25)

“I am the only one who can do it. It must be done just right, and I alone can do it as it must be done, and it has to be done quickly. Everything depends upon me.”

 

在你看来，千年如已过的昨日，又如夜间的一更。

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

 

It is not there, then it was not supposed to be there. If you miss it, perhaps you should have missed it. 

 

It is also true that the mind can be quieted by first making the body quiet. That is to say, a physical attitude can induce desired mental attitudes.
