All quotes from
Coleman's book
You sit here for
days saying, This is strange business.
You're the strange business. You
have the energy of the sun in you, but you keep knotting it up at the base of
your spine.
Listen to the story
told by the reed of being separated.
Since I was cut from the reed bed I have made this crying sound. Anyone separated from someone he loves
understands what I say: Anyone pulled from a source longs to go back.
Don’t move the way
fear makes you move.
We all know things
that get better when we pay attention to the breath. We're more in the moment, more present, more
true. There are things to do.
Enlightenment unfolds as it will, but there are ways to become more
accessible to it. Practices. Meditation. Vigils. Fasting.
Walks. What you give time and attention to.
Don't pray to be
healed, or look for evidence of "some other world". You are the soul and medicine for what wounds
the soul.
Be source. Not
result.
