I bring my attention to my hands on the steering wheel and notice how the chatter in my mind begins to fall away as my breathing slows. I'm awake and alive, simply driving the car going where I need to go, on time and in time. A still point of the turning world. With that awareness, I bring my attention into my body, and the body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

People around us change and circumstances change. We can often find ourselves struggling against those things.

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.

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

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.

When we are open to ourselves and our own experience, and therefore, open to the world, then the world can respond.

We live in an age of knowledge, with the great god Google, that we can refer to at any time on any subject.
