In the Zen Way we focus upon each breath, each day, each moment and experience it totally. One complete breath brings the next.
Brenda ShoshannaUnless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.
Brenda ShoshannaWhen we are willing to accept our experience, just as it is, a strange thing happens: it changes into something else. When we avoid pain, struggle not to feel it, pain turns into suffering.
Brenda ShoshannaWhen we are in a truly loving relationship, we receive the gift of being known and accepted. We become more, not less, of who we are. We receive the space in which to bloom. This is how we know we are in a loving relationship. We are blooming, and the one we love is blooming as well.
