Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It’s a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.
Pema Chodron, from the short article Stay With Your Broken Heart in Tricycle Magazine.
Pema, oh, Pema.
ReplyDeleteOh Elizabeth. How I need this.
ReplyDeleteI do adore Pema Chodron. She was my 'bridge drug' to Buddhism.
