Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.

Meditation is such a more substantial reality than what we normally take to be reality.

I'm voting for Gore because the other is unthinkable. Which most of us will probably do. I hope all of us. I've always liked Ralph Nader and would like to see a real third party, but the thought of George Bush as president is unthinkable.

Meditation is the brain's way to exercise.

There's really one character for every actor. The voyage is to find that one character.

The more we practice mindfulness the more we understand the emotional dynamics of the self and others.
