Some of us have the good fortune of some type of natural gift, whether it's playing tennis or painting or writing.

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

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.

It's the bringing together of knowledge and wisdom that is a great part - perhaps the greatest part - of our life's journey.

Everything constantly changes.

When we're fully engaged in the present moment, no matter what we're doing, the question of meaning never seems to arise. It's because we feel fulfilled and that is inherently meaningful.

I live in California, where there's a lot of driving entailed. I'm usually going somewhere to be on time to meet someone so I'm necessarily engaged in time. And yet, how can I in that moment of driving my car, be aware of that which is not going anywhere?
