Life is kind of like a party

You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up late. But in the end, after the fun, a few stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time, they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. These people are your true friends in life. They are the only ones who matter.

Waves are not separate from the ocean, thoughts are not separate from the mind.

Daring Ideas

“Daring ideas are like chessmen moving forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.”

Goethe

“When a flower grows, free from effort, its petals naturally unfold to reveal its beauty. And so it is with an open mind.”

Although the attitude of meditation is effortless, the commitment to sit each day requires an undeniable effort, however gentle.

Kindness

When we’re kind to another person, it doesn’t matter if we’re seen or acknowledged. What’s important is our willingness to be kind.

Sometimes I feel like the guy in the circus parade walking behind the elephant.

We’re not ignoring, chasing, or rejecting thoughts. We’re seeing them clearly, acknowledging them, and letting go.

Headspace

We meditate to remind ourselves that, like the blue sky, our enlightened nature is always with us. Even when it’s obscured by clouds.
