I thank you, light, again, for helping me to find the outline of my daughter’s face, I thank you light, for the subtle way your merest touch gives shape to such things I could only learn to love through your delicate instruction ...

Buddhist meditation teacher Tara Brach (@TaraTaravx) reminds us that "loving awareness" is our true nature. Like gold hidden underneath clay and plaster, we often "cover our own innate goodness as we encounter a challenging world." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/gexWR7afPA

The Four Immutable Laws of Being Human:
1. Whoever is present are the right people.

#ThomasMerton writes of his mystical experience of the #TrueSelf. "At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point which belongs entirely to God." #DailyMeditations https://t.co/7vytCSX0uU

“I like it much better than ‘religious’ or ‘spiritual’ — to be a seeker after the sacred or the holy, which ends up for me being the really real.”
