Creation Quote by Eckhart Tolle
““[through nonresistance, nonjudgment, and non-attatchment] you can participate in the dance of creation and be active without attachment to outcome and without placing unreasonable demands upon the world: fulfil me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world can not give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self-created suffering comes to an end.””
