“There is no escape if love is not there," Hannah had said. Had Hannah known when she herself had not even suspected? It was not escape that she had dreamed about, it was love.”
― Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond

“She snatched at the dream that had comforted her for so long. It was faded and thin, like a letter too often read.”
― Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond

“Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it’s about letting go of control. This is meditation. Anything else is actually a form of concentration. Meditation and concentration are two different things. Concentration is a discipline; concentration is a way in which we are actually directing or guiding or controlling our experience. Meditation is letting go of control, letting go of guiding our experience in any way whatsoever. The foundation of True Meditation is that we are letting go of control.”

“Enlightenment is nothing more than the complete absence of resistance to what is. End of story.”
