But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”

You may even have so many thoughts that it seems as if trying to meditate makes them increase, but you are just noticing the previously unidentified extent of your own ramblings.

desire to relive those moments of love, and my attachment to those pleasures.”
