Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory. - Dr. Seuss

We meditate to awaken to the laws of life. Instead of fearing painful experiences and running away from them, or grasping after pleasant experiences hoping that somehow by holding onto them they will last, we come to realize our heart has the capacity to be present for it all, to live more fully and freely where we are. - jack Kornfield , "Meditation for Beginners"

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain are part of the dance of life. - jack Kornfield
