When Things Fall Apartโ and I quote โLife is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.
Pema ChodronIn a nutshell, when life is pleasant, think of others. When life is a burden, think of others.
Pema ChodronThere's nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.
