The Tao asks you to clearly see the parallels between you and this naturally flowing substance that allows life to sustain itself. Live as water lives, since you are water. Become as contented as the fluid that animates and supports you. Let your thoughts and behaviors move smoothly in accordance with the nature of all things.

My goodness, there's nothing that feels better than to meditate, than to get quiet, and then to be at peace, and to tell someone you love them.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.

It's slow. It's inch by inch. But nature always bats last. The planet isn't going anywhere.

There is only one time that is important-Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power. The most necessary person is the one with whom you are, for no person knows whether he or she will ever have dealings with anyone else: and the most important affair is, to do the person good, because for that purpose alone were human beings sent into this life!

In reality, it's much easier not to smoke or eat chocolate than to do so. It's your mind that convinces you otherwise.

There's No Such Thing as a Bad Meditation. Any Time you Spend in Silence is Valuable
