Thank You Pema

“... We cannot be present and run our storylines at the same time. Impermanence is vivid in the present moment as are compassion, wonder, courage, and fear, Anyone who stands on the edge of the unknown, fully in the present, without reference point, experiences groundlessness. That's when our understanding goes deeper, when we find that the present moment is a pretty vulnerable place and that this can be completely unnerving and completely tender at the same time ...” Pema Chodron
