Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.

-Jack Kornfield

[perfectquote]

When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice. Only in this moment can we discover that which is timeless. Only here can we find the love that we seek. Love in the past is simply memory, and love in the future is fantasy. Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.

To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.

"Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be.

Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting."

It is possible to speak with our heart directly. Most ancient cultures know this. We can actually converse with our heart as if it were a good friend. In modern life we have become so busy with our daily affairs and thoughts that we have forgotten this essential art of taking time to converse with our heart.

Jack Kornfield, in “A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life”, as quoted by bell hooks in All About Love: New Visions

The courageous heart is the one that is unafraid to open to the world.

Jack Kornfield, The Wise Heart

True emptiness is not empty, but contains all things. The mysterious and pregnant void creates and reflects all possibilities. From it arises our individuality, which can be discovered and developed, although never possessed or fixed.
