It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the interconnectedness of all that exists.

The past has no power over the present moment.

Whatever you do in your daily life - driving from here to there, trying to reach someone on the phone, doing this or that - you always are going toward somewhere. That's inevitable.

The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.

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

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

"Getting away from it all," many people want that, and of course ultimately the only way to get away from it all is to go within, now.
