Distraction wastes our energy, concentration restores it.

We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

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

As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make friends with the quietness of our sensations.

Because the development of inner calm and energy happens completely within and isn't dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful - and a huge relief.

The movement of the heart as we practice generosity in the outer world mirrors the movement of the heart when we let go of conditioned views about ourselves on our inner journey. Letting go creates a joyful sense of space in our minds

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