Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.

Meeting people in a genuine way and feeling like there is a vital and meaningful connection going on makes me come alive.

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

My earliest experiences in meditation were in a context of intensive retreats.

Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.

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

In our own lives and in our communities, we need to find a way to include others rather than exclude them. We need to find a way to allow our pain and suffering, individually and collectively.
