A peaceful heart is not a withdrawal from life,

but rather coming back into ourselves

to remember the place that neither grasps nor judges and hates.

~Jack Kornfield

caring for the heart of compassion…..

inquiry for today~ you will always have some edges to work with….

smart and kind….

I do not want to get to the end of my life

and find that I just lived the length of it.

I want to have lived the width of it as well.

~Diane Ackerman
