“Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything–even mountains, rivers, plants, and trees–should be your teacher.”

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

Cherishing Existence
This is who and what we are: constellations of matter, vulnerable, impermanent, and–for moments? for lifetimes?–illumined by the miracle of awareness. Whether fleeting or eternal, it’s a miracle that we must never take for granted. – Noelle Oxenhandler, “Awake and Demented “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

We practice learning not to shut our eyes, to notice without judgment, to see with unconditional acceptance, and to let go without effort that which stands in the way of loving the world.

Even as real grief breaks your heart, something in you knows that you’re being broken open, and there is something profoundly hopeful at the core of that sensation.

Romantic Love
In Buddhist practice, we discover that mindful attention can reveal a deeper truth in whatever object we are paying attention to. The same is true in romantic love. When we use our attention to touch and open the deeper truth in a person, we not only catalyze the experience of love, we become love. The source of love is revealed to be within us; we no longer have to go looking for it somewhere outside. – Nicole Daedone, “Love Becomes Her” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Nothing’s gonna change my world. Have you ever taken refuge in that thought, beloved? It’s a lie, of course; your world has never stopped changing, and it never will. As you read this, everything you know and everything you are is dropping away, and away, and away, into the irretrievable past. Sometimes it’s fairly easy to ignore that, of course. You create a career, a relationship, a child, and you tell yourself things are as they should be, forever. It’s a lovely fantasy while it lasts, and it can be hard to let go when the illusion of stability inevitably ends.
