Even with the best intentions, it can be very difficult to get beyond the past and into the Now.”

Stopping and asking, quieting and listening, trusting and waiting. Waiting is difficult but worth the effort because a quiet, uncluttered mind is a natural antenna for whispers of wisdom from within.”
