My experience working with lots of creative people is that they don't lose their artistic edge when they lose a fierce level of anguish. They just create from a different place.

An ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.

Meditation is a microcosm, a model, a mirror. The skills we practice when we sit are transferable to the rest of our lives.

I've spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion.

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.

As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.

Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.
