 There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.

 On Transience
The photograph reflects a moment that is happening out in the world, and also one that is happening in the minds of the photographer and the viewer. The fact that the moment is fleeting and will never get repeated adds to its appeal. A photograph acknowledges this transience. The best ones attach meaning to it. – David Butow, “Seeing Buddha: A Photographic Journey” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Using Habit Against Itself
Each step may seem to take forever, but no matter how uninspired you feel, continue to follow your practice schedule precisely and consistently.

 The Mere Fact of Being
It is precisely our recognition of life’s inevitable hardships, along with our uprooting of the attachment that exacerbates them, that allows us to appreciate the mere fact of being. Suffering and its unwholesome causes are not to be escaped but to be confronted–and eventually transformed into wisdom and compassion. – Rev. Patti Nakai, “Someone Is Jealous of You “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 A Change of Heart
A change of heart requires a great deal of courage and a great deal of compassion. The courage is to not avert our gaze, but instead to turn to the various sufferings in our own life or in the world around us and see them with the concern and compassionate eyes of the Buddha. – Jack Kornfield, “A Change of Heart” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Finding Forgiveness
If you’ve suffered a great injustice, coming to forgiveness may include a long process of grief and outrage and sadness and loss and pain. Forgiveness is a deep process, which is repeated over and over and over again in our hearts. It honors the grief and it honors the betrayal. And in its own time, it ripens into the freedom to truly forgive. – Gina Sharpe, “The Power of Forgiveness “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Effective Practice
We have two faces: our intrinsic nature and our reactive patterns–the bad habits of the psyche. Effective practice mirrors both, gradually revealing our nature, while at the same time, clarifying what obstructs it. – Anne Klein, ” Across the Expanse “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 When you love someone,
you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity- in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh, “Gift from the Sea” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
