You are the sky. Everything else — it’s just the weather. - Rick Hanson

Every time you take in the sense of feeling safe, satisfied, or connected, you stimulate responsive circuits in your brain.

Three Poisons: greed makes me rigid about how I want things to be, hatred gets me all bothered and angry, and delusion tricks me into taking the situation personally.

If you can break the link between feeling tones and craving — if you can be with the pleasant without chasing after it, with the unpleasant without resisting it, and with the neutral without ignoring it — then you have cut the chain of suffering, at least for a time.
