Every moment a rebirth.

Nothing missing
There is no such thing
as an underdeveloped moment
Trungpa Rinpoche
The little things
Little things may seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odourless but all together perfume the air.
George Bernanos
Be serene
Be serene in the oneness of things
and erroneous views
will disappear by themselves.

The journey itself
We humans have a tendency to lean into the future or to seek something “more exciting” than what is in front of us. The challenge is to be fully awake and fully invested in the completeness of the present moment.

A lifetime adrift in a boat or old age leading a tired horse into the years,
every day is a journey and the journey itself is home
Matsuo Basho, 17th century Japanese poet, Narrow Road to the Interior.
