Loss is very painful, because any kind of loss leaves a hole in the fabric of one's existence.

Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

You create a good future by creating a good present.

The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.
