Pema Chödrön
“maybe the only enemy is that we don’t like the way reality is *now* and therefore wish it would go away fast. but what we find as practitioners is that nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.”
Pema Chodron

“Relaxing with the present moment, relaxing with death, not resisting the fact that things end, that things pass, that things have no lasting substance, that everything is changing all the time—that is the basic message.”
Pema Chodron

Pema Chödrön
“this letting things go is sometimes called nonattachment, but not with the cool, remote quality often associated with that word. this nonattachment has more kindness and more intimacy than that. it’s actually a desire to know, like the questions of a three-year-old. we want to know our pain so we can stop endlessly running. we want to know our pleasure so we can stop endlessly grasping.”
Pema Chodron

Pema Chödrön
“seeking security or perfection, rejoicing in feeling confirmed and whole, self-contained and comfortable, is some kind of death. it doesn’t have any fresh air. there’s no room for something to come in and interrupt all that. we are killing the moment by controlling our experience.”
Pema Chodron

“Whiteness is a catch-all because it convinced you that if you participate in it then you, too, can have a good life, aka a white one.”
Fariha Roisin, Who Is Wellness For?: An Examination of Wellness Culture and Who It Leaves Behind
