Happy Thanksgiving. A good day to appreciate a friend or loved one. A note, a hug, or a simple thank you. Have a great one.

The benefits of meditation take time. It's like water dripping on jagged rock. Our inner edges took time to evolve; will take time to polish

Easy to lose our way in an always on culture that connects us with all people, all events, all knowledge. Need a path back.
No-self does not mean no-exist. It is a philosophical construct to see that our views of self tend to limit us, and we can go beyond them.
We can think of ego as a contraction, a means to function that is also limiting. Meditation is a means to expand beyond that contraction.
Meditation help us discern the superficial from the deep. In a world in which globalization of the superficial is epidemic, we need it.
It's hard to find five minutes to meditate. Testimony to the need for it! #Let'sMeditate
Cooing baby trumps meditating minds. Never saw so many smiling faces at the end of meditation!

'Awakening' is not a state we occupy or do not occupy but an active, continuous process of learning and inner growth.
