As we learn to bow, we discover that the heart holds more freedom and compassion than we could imagine.

The independence and rebelliousness of our adolescence offer us yet another quality essential to our practice; the insistence that we find out the truth for ourselves, accepting no one's word above our own experience.

The trouble is that you think you have time.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

What we seek is what we are.

Each moment of every day is new and then it vanishes. Where is that day? Where is that moment?

It does not matter whether you have religion or are an agnostic believe in nothing, You can only appreciate (without knowing or understanding) the mysteries of life.
