"I believe that it’s really interesting and really fun and really informative, and the right thing to do to be able to look at things in different ways, and appreciate there are different ways of looking at things that each have their own validity."

~ Frank Wilczek 

How many nights must it take
one such as me to learn
that we aren't, after all, made
from that bird that flies out of its ashes

"The sense of self becomes a home rather than a prison. You can come and go freely."

~ Shinzen Young

“If I were required to give a "quick and dirty" definition of meditation, it would be that meditation is the practice of escaping into life. It's escape in the sense that one does not feel limited by the mind/body process or the surrounding situation. But, the direction of escape is not from what's happening, but rather into it.”

~ Shinzen Young
