Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

Buckminster Fuller himself was fond of stating that what seems to be happening at the moment is never the full story of what is really going on. He liked to point out that for the honey bee, it is the honey that is important. But the bee is at the same time nature's vehicle for carrying out cross-pollination of the flowers. Interconnectedness is a fundamental principle of nature. Nothing is isolated. Each event connects with others.

Meditation is not about feeling a certain way. It's about feeling the way you feel.

You can bring together the body's various systems to fine tune the body and mind in order to navigate life's ups and downs in a way that minimizes stress and maximizes well-being and satisfaction.

Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.

When you pay attention to boredom it gets unbelievably interesting.

Most people think that to meditate, I should feel a particular special something, and if I don't, then I must be doing something wrong.
