The Power of Presence
Presence
has no measurable product except positive feelings, feelings of
support, intimacy, and happiness. When we stop being busy and productive
and switch to just being still and aware, we ourselves will also feel
support, intimacy, and happiness, even if no one else is around.

The Freedom of Generosity
To
act generously is to awaken a certain kind of freedom: freedom from the
stranglehold of self-concern, and, consequently, freedom to choose a
level of responsibility beyond the minimal charge most of us have for
ourselves. To give unselfishly is at least momentarily to be free of
ourselves, free of greed and attachments, resentments and hatreds,
habitual and isolating acts of self-protection.
