Jack Kornfield

“Freedom is always found just where you are. Whether you are caring for a child, building a business, playing a game, or healing an illness, it all takes place right now. Hurrying and worrying don’t bring more time. All we truly ever have is the present moment. The past is gone; the future is not yet here. The art of living is to be in the eternal present, open to what it is. It takes only a moment to break the spell of time, to step out of our thoughts and see the sunlight reflecting on the windowpane, taste the dazzling mystery of a tangerine of a shrimp.”
