My current husband @NealFAllen and I have written a book on writing for everyone who has been writing for a while, or wants to start writing a novel or memoir or anything at all. You can buy it at your local bookstore on March 17 but can pre-order at: https://t.co/m8ddKkU5DS
No matter where we look, it’s easy to see the suffering. That’s why it’s up to us to be a lighthouse, a beacon, a lamp in the darkness, to help others remember hope and their true compassionate nature as mindful loving awareness. ✨

One of the beautiful things about life is that it is constantly recreating itself. When you look clearly at the seasons of nature, or the vast cycles of the cosmos, what you see is a constant sense of renewal.

The promise and sometimes blessing of emptiness is that all thoughts, feelings, and sensations arise, are experienced, and then pass away like snowflakes through the sky. ❄️

Moods and feelings are like beautiful colors in the water, like changes in the weather. Joys, sorrows, thoughts, and images arise, are felt, and then pass away. This is the promise of emptiness. ☯️

There’s a rhythm to the world that’s happening around us—of creatures, of our own heartbeat, of the movement of life—and when we get quiet and come into the present, we can feel the aliveness of this rhythm. ❄️☃️

There are two kinds of suffering. The first is the kind you run away, and that follows you everywhere. The second is the kind you’re willing to turn, face, and go through, and that becomes your gateway to liberation.
