How
does one come to a confident and positive view that is not naive, given
the state of the world? By walking through one’s own anger and despair
and emerging into serenity.
—James Thornton, “Radical Confidence”
To
donate money, to offer your time and skills, to give food or drink, and
to share tears or laughter, are all valuable ways to express generosity
towards others…[but] the ultimate gift of all is the gift of our
presence.
—Beth Roth, “Family Dharma: The Joy of Generosity”
Liminality—in-between-ness—is
the dharma’s dwelling place…The dharma’s true home is always in
between, and that’s why it can set us free.
—Kurt Spellmeyer, “The Wisdom of Uncertainty”
