If your mind is still... You can sense the peace that emanates from the earth.

As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.

Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.

You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.

A built-in reminder is the simple understanding that whenever any kind of unhappiness arises, you know you've lost the now. That's a built-in alarm clock. The moment you realize you've lost the now, come back to the now.

The human condition: lost in thought.

The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.
