quit agreeing and disagreeing.
This battle between likes and dislikes – that’s the primal disease of the mind.

Sunday Quote: Goal and Technique
The basic practice is to be present, right here.
The goal is also the technique: precisely being in this moment, neither suppressing nor wildly letting go,
but being precisely aware of what you are.
Chögyam Trungpa Rimpoche
Our daily moments
I keep looking for one more teacher,
only to find that fish learn from water
and birds learn from sky.

A new day, a new week
“Let there be Buechner”. And why not? Out of the primeval chaos of sleep he calls me to be life again. He calls me to be this rather than that; he calls me to be here rather than there; he calls me to be now rather than then. Waking into the new day, we are all of us Adam on the morning of creation, and the world is ours to name.
Out of many fragments we are called to put back together a self again.
Frederick Buechner, The Alphabet of Grace
Sunday Quote: Unknown
One is never afraid of the unknown;
one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

The dance
Mystery is so ever-present that no one can know for certain what will happen one hour from now. From mystery’s vantage there is no fixed path. In truth there is no path at all, for that would be to place it into the realm of space and time. To awaken is not to fix or hold but to love whatever is here. Knowing this truth releases our hearts from grasping. The mystery that gave us birth becomes a dance
