Suffering Is Our Call To Attention, Our

Imperfection Is Not Our Personal Problem - It Is A Natural Part Of Existing.

Happiness Lies Not In Finding What Is Missing, But In Finding What Is Present.

Offer Some Gesture Of Kindness To Yourself. Sometimes It's Just A Message, To Say: "it's Okay. You're Going To Be Okay. We've Been Through This Before." The Intention Is Reassurance, That You Are Not Alone And You Can Do This. It Is The Most Powerful Way To Come Out Of What I Call The "trance Of Unworthiness."

Presence Is Not Some Exotic State That We Need To Search For Or Manufacture. In The Simplest Terms, It Is The Felt Sense Of Wakefulness, Openness, And Tenderness That Arises When We Are Fully Here And Now With Our Experience.

Our Greatest Longing Is To Be Intimate.
