All good things must come to an end - some sooner than later. And I am telling you this because As Within has come to a close, at least for now. It's been a lot of fun, and I have very much enjoyed sharing these pictures and the inspiring quotes to go with them. If you are curious to know why this blog is on hiatus, you can visit this post at shirleytwofeathers. Each person who visited here is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for giving me an audience and (on my worst days) a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Do not chase after what is passed

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!


Do not chase after what is passed, do not worry over what is yet to come. The past is already thrown away, the future has not arrived. Simply grasp wholeheartedly what is here and now and without wavering, without yielding, look into it directly and realize it. Do today what should be done today, simply and mindfully. Nobody knows if death will come tomorrow and there is no escaping this invincible adversary. Achieve in this instant what must be achieved.

~The Middle Way (Journey of the Buddhist Society)
