Stay Awake...

"Everything we do - our discipline, effort, meditation, livelihood, and every single thing that we do from the moment we're born until the moment we die - we can use to help us to realize our unity and our completeness with all things. We can use our lives, in other words, to wake up to the fact that we're not separate: the energy that causes us to live and be whole and awake and alive is just the energy that creates everything, and we're part of that. We can use our lives to connect with that, or we can use them to become resentful, alienated, resistant, angry, bitter. As always, it is up to us." - Pema Chodron - The Wisdom of No Escape
