Zum Autor"At times, reality is love’s great challenge. When our old stories and dreams are shattered, our first instinct may be to resist, deny, or cling to the way things were. But if we loosen our grip, often what fills the space is a tender forgiveness and the potential for a new and different kind of love."
"Pain & suffering requires time, awareness, and an intentional practice of self-love to disentangle."
"What we learn in meditation, we can apply to all other realms of our lives."
"Self-love is an unfolding process that gains strength over time, not a goal with a fixed end point."
"Buddhism has a term for the happiness we feel at someone else’s success or good fortune. Sympathetic joy, as it is known, invites us to celebrate for others."
"We exercise kindness in any moment when we recognize our shared humanity—with all the hopes, dreams, joys, disappointments, vulnerability, and suffering that implies."
