Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world.
Sharon SalzbergTo relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.
Sharon SalzbergAs an ability, love is always there as a potential, ready to flourish and help our lives flourish. As we go up and down in life, as we acquire or lose, as we are showered with praise or unfairly blamed, always within there is the ability of love, recognized or not, given life or not.
Sharon SalzbergIf we fall, we don't need self-recrimination or blame or anger - we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to re-commit, to be whole-hearted once again.
Sharon SalzbergWe apply our effort to be mindful, to be aware in this very moment, right here and now, and we bring a very wholehearted effort to it. This brings concentration. It is this power of concentration that we use to cut through the world of surface appearances to get to a much deeper reality.
