Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.

The atoms that make up your body were once forged inside stars, and the causes of even the smallest event are virtually infinite and connected with the whole in incomprehensible ways.

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.

Honoring the moment is honoring every human being you meet. The only place where you can meet them is in the moment.

Being must be felt. It can't be thought.

The peace that comes with surrendered action turns to a sense of aliveness when you actually enjoy what you are doing.
