"...The most heartbreaking thing of all is how we cheat ourselves of the present moment. Sometimes, however, we are cornered; everything falls apart, and we run out of options for escape. At times like that, the most profound spiritual truths seem pretty straight-forward and ordinary. There's no where to hide. We see it as we see anyone else - better than anyone else. Sooner or later, we understand that although we can't make fear look pretty, it will nevertheless introduce us to all the teaching we've ever heard or read...."
