The thought-made self fears what it doesn’t know and cannot control. It habitually dismisses the present and creates a stressful future that mirrors a misunderstood past.

Release everyday life from the chains placed on it and rediscover ourselves kind, confident, and free.

With the best intentions, believing and defending stories of good and bad, right and wrong, we habitually cause suffering for ourselves and others.

In presence, with compassion and humility,
take heart and realize the suchness of here and the now.
Except for thoughts and stories claimed as mine,
this essential moment brings no consequence,
rather gratitude and timeless tranquility.

Experience life as it is - the so-called good and bad of it. Welcome and befriend the ongoing range of sensations, thoughts, feelings and emotions as wise, priceless benefactors.

Practiced together, meditation and inquiry offer the confused, bothered, naysaying mind a quiet, safe sanctuary in which to discover and transform worn-out beliefs and misunderstandings. Through presence, hard work, trust and forgiveness, positive change can’t help but happen.
