“Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future, in regrets, guilt, or shame about the past. When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present -our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes, our love - everything that moves us most deeply”
—Jack Kornfield
