The Tempo of The Dance
Think that the same power that moves the stars and the sap in the trees is in you.

Man is no longer master of the machines which he has invented. Our contemporary mechanized civilization is fatal to man’s inner life, for it destroys his integrity, disfigures his emotional life, makes him the instrument of inhuman processes, and takes away from him all possibility of contemplation by a rapid increase in the tempo of life.

Death is not waiting for us at the end of the road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment…And the good news is we don’t have to wait until the end of our lives to realize the wisdom that death has to offer.

In brief, without being mindful of death, whatever Dharma practices you take up will be merely superficial.

The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to…
