No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.

Love is effortless attention.

To be more aware, we need only listen for and let go of the thoughts which steal our attention.

The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

Never speak out of anger, Never act out of fear, Never choose from impatience, But wait... and peace will appear.

The only way to cultivate a quiet mind is by planting seeds of silence.
