“Not every story has a happy ending [...], but the discoveries of science, the teachings of the heart and the revelations of the soul all assure us that no human being is ever beyond

“Of course, there will always be times that we need to find our very precise way. But more often than not, our image of a destination is only a starting point that we cling to needlessly. When we can free up our sense of needing to arrive in a certain place, we lessen the weight of being lost. And once beneath arriving and beneath our fear of failing to arrive, the real journey begins.”
― Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

“Scientific discovery always arises out of meditation, not out of mind. And whenever something comes from the mind, it is not science but only technology.

Mind is just the surface of your being; insights come from the center of your being. Meditation takes you to the center.”
