Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.

We can find true refuge within our own hearts and minds-right here, right now, in the midst of our moment-to-momen t lives.

My prayer became 'May I find peace... May I love this life no matter what.' I was seeking an inner refuge, an experience of presence and wholeness that could carry me through whatever losses might come.

Meditation helps us to get out of our thoughts about the future and really be in the present moment.

Just come into stillness. Have your intention be to relax with the breath. That will begin to set in motion a habit that will start to train the mind.

Nothing is wrong - whatever is happening is just "real life."

Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.
