Meditation is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware— not only of our own inner workings but also of what’s happening around us in the here & now.

As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.

Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.

We like things to manifest right away, and they may not. Many times, we're just planting a seed and we don't know exactly how it is going to come to fruition. It's hard for us to realize that what we see in front of us might not be the end of the story.

The meditation traditions I started and have continued practicing have all emphasized inclusivity: anyone can do this who is interested.

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

Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world.
