Don’t wrap yourself in labels

March 22, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

“The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you becomes to reality, the miracle of life that continuously unfolds within and around you.” Ekchart Tolle (from The Power of Now)

We are ice cubes in a warm sea of life wrapping ourselves in labels to keep the ice from melting. Like the frozen dead off the Titanic we bob in the sea longing for our sunken Ark.
