Like a sandcastle, all is temporary. Build it, tend it, enjoy it. When the time comes, let it go. Jack Kornfield
Gautam Buddha entered a village. On the boundary was a river and on the shore many children sat studiously making sand castles. If anyone disturbed somebody else's castle they would shout and be angry at each other. Buddha watched. At sunset their mothers called, 'Come back home, it is time for your supper'. They jumped up and flattened their own castles, the very ones they had just argued over. They never looked back, simply went home. Buddha said to his disciples, “Life is not much more than this.”
All your seriousness is about sandcastles. And you yourself will leave them one day. The people who take it seriously miss the beauty of playfulness. - Osho
We are all building sand castles on the cosmic beaches of the universe. as long as it lasts, enjoy it. Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. Mother Teresa
