All that we are looking for in life - all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind - is right here in the present moment.

Compassion is the spontaneous wisdom of the heart. It's always with us. It always has been, and always will be. When it arises in us, we've simply learned to see how strong and safe we really are.

When we become fixed in our perceptions we lose our ability to fly.
