Those who are Awake live in a state of constant amazement.

No one knows how this world came into being. It is a creation of consciousness itself. It's extraordinary, a mystery.

Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way.

A second quality of mature sirituality is kindness. It is based on a fundamental notion of self-acceptance.

To become mindful … present … is really the invitation to work with the joys and the sorrows of the world, and to do so with this gift, this capacity of loving awareness, of attention that actually can be present for the whole dance.

Letting go is not the same as aversion, struggling to get rid of something. We cannot genuinely let go of what we resist. What we resist and fear secretly follows us even as we push it away. To let go of fear or trauma, we need to acknowledge just how it is. We need to feel it fully and accept that it is so. It is as it is. Letting go begins with letting be.

To let go in the deepest recesses of the heart, to release all struggle and wanting, leads us to that knowing which is timeless.
