a conversation on imagined satisfaction

There is the conversation between Bill Moyers and Pema Chodron, and then there is the conversation that Pema has with herself. 


So much beauty in how she uses herself as both teacher and student. 


Ever learning and ever teaching what she learns.

Relearn astonishment
                          stop grasping for knowledge
                                                    lose the habit of the past.

Blaising through time

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.


--Blaise Pascal
