~ Maintain ~

The Wild Magnolia (left) & First Daughter (2008)


Maintain
Maintain the state of undistractedness, and distractions will fly away. Dwell alone, and you shall find the Friend. Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest. Hasten slowly, and you shall soon arrive. Renounce all worldly goals, and you shall reach the highest Goal. If you follow this unfrequented path, you will find the shortest way. If you realize Sunyata (the absolute Emptiness), compassion will arise within your hearts; and when you lose all differentiation between yourself and others, then you will be fit to serve others. ~ Milarepa

This quote helped me this morning!  Therefore I share it gladly with you all!  Blessings!

You look so very much alike. You could be twins. How lovely to be so close. I never had a daughter, but my eldest son is very family oriented.
