When we sit in stillness, we are profoundly active.

As we enter into exquisite awareness of the life that want to live as us, we learn to love deeply. - We claim our passion.

When we sit in stillness, we are profoundly active.

Silence is our deepest nature, our home, our common ground, our peace. Silence reveals. Silence heals.

My life will always have dirty dishes. If this sink can become a place of contemplation, let me learn constancy here.

So often we are too lazy or too distracted to see with care. Images come into our retinas, and our minds have already interpreted them. We do not see without our biases, our habits of life and thought.

I have found no better way than to value and savor the sacredness of daily living, to rely on repetition, the humdrum rhythm which heals and steadies.
