"In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."

~ Buddha

"The present moment contains past and future. The secret of transformation is in the way we handle this very moment."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

"Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings."

~ Rumi
