While we are sitting in meditation, we are simply exploring humanity and all of creation in the form of ourselves.

Like all explorers, we are drawn to discover what's out there without knowing yet if we have the courage to face it.

The root of suffering is resisting the certainty that no matter what the circumstances, uncertainty is all we truly have.

Searching for happiness prevents us from ever finding it.

The only way to ease our pain is to experience it fully. Learn to stay with uneasiness, learn to stay with the tightening, so that the habitual chain reaction doesn't continue to rule your life.

Just where you are-that's the place to start!

Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.
