Some days in late August are like this-

the air thin and eager,

with something in it

sad and nostalgic

and familiar.

~William Faulkner

how to sense the illusory, dreamlike promise…..

inquiry for today~ leave nobody at home today, especially you…..

the open moon

In the stillness and silence of meditation, we glimpse and return to that deep inner nature that we have so long ago lost sight of amid the busyness and distraction of our minds.

It is meditation that slowly purifies the ordinary mind, unmasking and exhausting its habits and illusions, so that we can, at the right moment, recognize who we really are.

~Sogyal Rinpoche
