It’s important to become aware of what we feel, not just what we think.

On a clear night, look up, and you can see that you are the stars above.

If we have a lot of worry, fear, or anguish, that is very fertile ground for thinking that is completely useless, nonproductive, and harmful.

Anxiety, fear, and uncertainty about future events prevent us from hearing the call of happiness.

When we know we are more than our thoughts, we can make the determination not to allow our thinking to take over and dominate us.

Just like everything else in the world, your thoughts are impermanent. If you don’t grasp a thought, it arises, stays for a while, and then fades away.

Our body is a wonder! Its functioning is the result of millions of processes.

Our awareness is the key to our protection.

That’s ruminating on the toxic food of our consciousness.
