Day: June 7, 2025

This very moment is the perfect teacher, it is always with us, it is the most profound instruction we can receive.  Awareness is found in our pleasure and our pain, our confusion, and our wisdom; it is available in each moment of our ordinary lives.

Whenever the optimal time of day is for you, use this time for self-cultivation.  If it is early morning when it is quiet and fresh, immerse yourself in these energies.  If it is evening, put your cares of the day aside rest and relax, use the gestating powers of the dark.

Settle your mind like the universe settles the stars in the night sky.  Connecting your mind to that subtle origin it will become calm and tranquil, then it will naturally expand, and ultimately your mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

No matter how difficult a situation is, there is always a solution.  Your attitude is the most important part of that solution.  Do not act with undo haste or continue in your old ways or be content with partial success.  Have a plan before beginning and reflect on finishing.

Quote: Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
