The Great Gift Of A Spiritual Path Is Coming To Trust That You Can Find A Way To True Refuge. You Realize That You Can Start Right Where You Are, In The Midst Of Your Life, And Find Peace In Any Circumstance. Even At Those Moments When The Ground Shakes Terribly Beneath You—when There’s A Loss That Will Alter Your Life Forever—you Can Still Trust That You Will Find Your Way Home. This Is Possible Because You’ve Touched The Timeless Love And Awareness That Are Intrinsic To Who You Are.

Presence Is Not Some Exotic State That We Need To Search For Or Manufacture. In The Simplest Terms, It Is The Felt Sense Of Wakefulness, Openness, And Tenderness That Arises When We Are Fully Here And Now With Our Experience.

It's The Beginning Of Opening To Love. Even If There's Not Much Feeling Of Compassion Toward Oneself, Just Say, "it's Okay, Sweetheart," Or "i'm Sorry And I Love You."

It Is Through Realizing Loving Presence As Our Very Essence, Through Being That Presence, That We Discover True Freedom.

If You Let Someone Know You Appreciate Him Or Her, Especially When You're Going To Disagree, It Gets That Person's Defenses Down.
