The everyday, familiar sense of self who lives in time, and that dimension which we've called presence, that is always here, that is still and quiet.

The body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in.

What's not often in the present moment is the thinking mind.

Knowledge is immensely powerful and immensely useful.

If we're trying to get the perfect house, the perfect relationship or the perfect job, it's likely there's some kind of fear driving us beyond the natural wish to improve. It's really the refusal to acknowledge that life - including ourselves - is simply not perfect.

Practice remembrance of the present moment, again and again.
