“No one loves you for what you have done, but for what you might do.”
― Patrick Kavanagh, Collected Poems

“The “Spotlight” Our immediate capacities for navigating awareness and action toward tasks. Enables us to do what we want to do.

The “Starlight” Our broader capacities for navigating life “by the stars” of our higher goals and values. Enables us to be who we want to be.

The “Daylight” Our fundamental capacities – such as reflection, metacognition, reason, and intelligence – that enable us to define our
goals and values to begin with. Enables us to “want what we want to want.”

These three “lights” of attention pertain to doing, being, and knowing, respectively. When each of these “lights” gets obscured, a distinct – though not mutually exclusive – type of “distraction” results.”
― James Williams, Stand Out of Our Light

“Buddhism is concerned to go beneath and beyond the limitation of our personal identity, to see that awareness – the clarity which illuminates every moment of our existence – is not a construct, is not an aspect of our personality, is not something”
― James Low, The open door of emptiness: A collection of public talks and teachings

“We awaken to our spaciousness through meditation. We awaken to the richness of the world and our part in it through relaxation. We awaken into the fullness of the moment by being the field. Instead of imagining that I'm living in this skin bag, looking out at something else, trying to get from the world the things I want and keep away the things I don't want”
― James Low, Buddha shows the way: a collection of public talks and teachings
