We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it. - Sharon Salzberg

Our ability to connect with others is innate, wired into our nervous systems, and we need connection as much as we need physical nourishment.

Abiding faith does not depend on borrowed concepts. Rather, it is the magnetic force of a bone-deep, lived understanding, one that draws us to realize our ideals, walk our talk,and act in accord with what we know to be true.

To relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.
