When we clean up after ourselves, we have nothing to blame. When we begin to live our lives in that way, cleaning up after ourselves, what is left is further vision and further openness, which leads to cleaning up the rest of the world.

We are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future.

Our bodies demand our attention; our bodies demand that we actually pay attention to what is going on with our lives.

Even fear itself is frightened by the bodhisattva's fearlessness.

If kindness doesn't work, try more kindness.

There is something suspect about our inability to enjoy anything.

Ultimately, that is the definition of bravery: not being afraid of yourself.
