Mindfulness helps us to set boundaries by revealing what makes us unhappy & what brings us peace.

Even in the midst of devastation, something within us always points the way to freedom.

If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.

It's a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society - in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away somewhere so we don't have to see it.

To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.

I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

I think what we (as a society) need from artists of all kinds is courage, a willingness to explore, and a really big sense of possibility.
