Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

How true...!
Word to live by... and a terrific image to go with!
That's a beautiful, rich looking egg. It kind of looks like it's got a silly grin on, don't you think?
And treasures you because of it!
Good quote!
How true! So very true! We have just had an egg sandwich for breakfast...looking at your photo I would say that was a free-range egg...am I right? You can tell by the deep yellow!
