Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now.Next time you say, «I have nothing in common with this person,» remember that you have a great deal in common: A few years from now - two years or seventy years, it doesn't make much difference - both of you will have become rotting corpses, then piles of dust, then nothing at all. This is a sobering and humbling realization that leaves little room for pride.... In that sense, there is total equality between you and every other creature.

I love this quote. It speaks to what we would now call mindfulness. It extols the need for patience, admiration and reflection. So much more powerful than "stop and smell the roses".tracey clark wrote: ↑15 Jan 2016, 12:58 To see a World in a Grain of Sand
