Nothing is wrong –– 

whatever is happening

is just "real life."

~ Tara Brach

Weekend Zen, August 24-25

There is something wonderfully bold 

and liberating about saying "Yes" 

to our entire imperfect and messy life.

Attention is the most basic

form of love. By paying 

attention we let ourselves

be touched by life, and

our hearts naturally become

more open and engaged.

As I noticed feelings and thoughts

appear and disappear, it became

increasingly clear that they were

just coming and going on their own...

There was no sense of a self owning them.

Weekend Zen, April 29-30

There is something wonderfully 

bold and liberating about saying

"yes" to our entire imperfect and 

messy life. With even a glimmer 

of that possibility, joy rushes in.

Whatever you most care about,

let this tenderness of heart 

energize your meditation. 

The sincerity of your longing

will carry you home.

Call on your natural curiosity as you focus

inward. Try to let go of any preconceived 

ideas, and instead, listen in a kind,

receptive way to your body and heart.

Awakening self-compassion is 

often the greatest challenge 

people face on the spiritual path.

~ Tara Brach

Daily Zen - Thursday, November 9

With an undefended heart, we can

fall in love with life over and over

every day. We become children of 

wonder, grateful to be walking on 

earth, grateful to belong with one and 

another and to all of creation. 

~ Tara Brach

Daily Zen - Friday, August 25

We are caught in the trance of fear

when the emotion of fear becomes

the core of our identity and constricts

our capacity to live fully.

How you live today is 

how you live your life.

Weekend Zen, May 14-15

There is something wonderfully bold 

and liberating about saying yes to our

entire imperfect and messy life.
