Every Moment Is Unique, Unknown, Completely Fresh.

We Can Spend Our Whole Lives Escaping From The Monsters Of Our Minds. (36)

Meditation Practice Isn't About Trying To Throw Ourselves Away And Become Something Better. It's About Befriending Who We Are Already.

Trying To Run Away Is Never The Answer To Being A Fully Human. Running Away From The Immediacy Of Our Experience Is Like Preferring Death To Life.

Having Compassion Starts And Ends With Having Compassion For All Those Unwanted Parts Of Ourselves. The Healing Comes From Letting There Be Room For All Of This To Happen: Room For Grief, For Relief, For Misery, For Joy.

The More We Witness Our Emotional Reactions And Understand How They Work, The Easier It Is To Refrain.
