Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you.

Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!

We get lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. Nature can show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds.

People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. This is why we may also call it Presence.

The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.

If you cannot be at ease with yourself when alone, you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. You can be sure that the unease will then reappear in some other form within the relationship, and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it.
