Every single moment is expressive of the truth of our lives when we know how to look.

The mind thinks thoughts that we don't plan. It's not as if we say, 'At 9:10 I'm going to be filled with self-hatred.

The most common response I hear when I tell people I teach meditation is, "I'm so stressed out. I could use some of that!" A response I also sometimes hear, which amuses me a lot is, "My partner should really meet you!"

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.

Compassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.

Someone who has experienced trauma also has gifts to offer all of us - in their depth, their knowledge of our universal vulnerability, and their experience of the power of compassion.

By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
