Every moment is incredibly unique and fresh, and when we drop into the moment, as meditation allows us to do, we learn how to truly taste this tender and mysterious life that we share together.

In the end, that's what we all need more than anything else: to be there for each other, in every kind of situation.

The ego seeks to divide and separate. Spirit seeks to unify and heal.

At the root of all the harm we cause is ignorance.

As for our inner level of obstacle, perhaps the only enemy we have is that we don't like the way reality is now and therefore wish it would go away fast. But what we need to acknowledge is that nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean.

Simply be present with your own shifting energies and with the unpredictabilit y of life as it unfolds.
