In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.
In an age of distraction, nothing could feel more luxurious than paying attention.
And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.
Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness
Just as a mirror remains clear and undisturbed regardless of the reflections it holds, so awareness remains pure and unaffected by the ever-changing flow of thoughts, sensations, and perceptions.
To seek happiness in experience is to overlook the happiness that we are – the peace of our own being, prior to all objects.
Rupert Spira, You Are the Happiness You Seek
