”It’s not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It’s a part of being alive, something we all share.”

”We react against the possibility of loneliness, of death, of not having anything to hold on to.”If we commit ourselves to staying right where we are then our experiences become very vivid. Things become very clear when there is nowhere to escape.

"Impermanence becomes vivid in the present moment; so do compassion and wonder and courage. And so does fear."

"The next time you encounter fear, consider yourself lucky. This is where the courage comes in. Usually we think that brave people have no fear.The truth is that they are intimate with fear."
