 Beyond Heartache
In truth, we [parents] never have stood between our kids and heartache–theirs or our own. The good news is that the Buddha showed us a path that leads beyond heartache, beyond samvega [dismay], beyond suffering. Our best wish for our children is that they find it, too. – Mary Talbot, “The Dismay of Motherhood” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Equanimity has the capacity to embrace extremes without getting thrown off balance. Equanimity takes interest in whatever is occurring simply because it is occurring. Equanimity does not include indifference, boredom, coldness, or hesitation. It is an expression of calm, radiant balance that takes whatever comes in stride. – Shaila Catherine, “Equanimity in Every Bite “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Fundamentalism springs from a desire for certainty, but many religious people and many scientists know that this cannot be achieved by beings with limited minds and experience such as ourselves. – Rupert Sheldrake, “A Question of Faith” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

It has its roots in racial violence and distortions and inequities that have been part of the fabric of our country since its inception…We need to be willing to see how we are part of the causes and conditions, and not separate from them… This work is actually about mutual liberation.
