“the very minute we think we 'have' God, God will surprise us. As we search in fire and earthquakes, God will be in the still small voice. As we listen in silent meditation, God will be shouting protests in the street. God is warning us that we had best not try to find our security in any well-defined concept or category of what is Godly - for the minute we believe we are into God, God is off again and calling us forth into some unknown place.” ThinkingTryingBelieveWellsStillsGodVoiceFireMeditationStreetsMinutesSecurityCallingConceptsSilentSurpriseGods WillDefinedProtestCategoriesWarningGodlyEarthquakesShoutingSmall VoiceSilent Meditation Author:Carter Heyward

“When we practice paying attention, whether in meditation, yoga (moving mediation), or simply walking down the street, we can choose to be at ease, or choose to be tense. It's a choice, and that choice is up to no one but us to decide.” MovingChoicesAttentionPracticeMeditationStreetsWalkingYogaPay AttentionEaseTenseMediation Author:Tara Stiles
“[Thich Nhat Hanh] the one that revolutionized Buddhism. Instead of being monks just engaged in meditation, it was active Buddhism. You went out and felt the ills of the community around you. Instead of retreating to a monastery, you were out in the streets working. And he's been a great help to me, just reading his book, so I don't feel helpless about what I can do about all the violence around me.” FeelsI CanBookHelpingReadingFeltCan DoCommunityMeditationViolenceStreetsBuddhismActiveEngagedHelplessMonkMonasteriesThich Nhat Hanh Author:Sandra Cisneros
