No matter how long your journey appears to be, there is never more than this: one step, one breath, one moment... Now.

Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.

It may look as if the situation is creating the suffering, but ultimately this is not so - your resistance is.

You are this universe experiencing itself, very briefly, as a human.

To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

The future does not exist, because nobody has ever experienced it. You can only ever experience a present moment.

The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.
