The cave you are afraid to enter
[is..] the source of what you are looking for.

An inner place of patience
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.

Courage
A little reminder to stay firm and to trust, even if it seems tough.
Difficulties are just things to overcome,
after all.

Stay in the present
The mind that tries to shape tomorrow beyond its capacities
will find no rest.

Sunday Quote: The dance
Life dances and you have to dance with it, whether it is taking you on a wonderful ride or is stepping on your toes. This is the necessary price and transcendent gift of being incarnate; alive in a body. Each moment is a fresh moment in the dance, and if you are lost in clinging to the past or clinging to your fears of the future, you are not present for the dance.

The places that scare you
The five instructions given to Machig Labdron in the 12th century by her teacher Padampa Sangye
Confess your hidden faults.
Approach what you find distasteful.
Help those you do not want to help.
Anything you are attached to, let go of.
Go to the places that scare you.
