(Lillian Dickson)
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.(Sharon Salzberg) As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -- delight, surprise, chagrin, dismay -- I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy in any sort of enduring way.
