Most of us live in the past, carrying our hurts, guilts and fears. We have to face the pain we carry, lest we spend the rest of our lives running away from it or letting it run us. But the only place you’ll ever meet the real is now-here. It’s the hardest place for us to live, the place where we’re most afraid to live, because it feels so empty and boring. Now-here almost always feels like nowhere, and that’s precisely where we must go. Silence is what allows the old world order to become unnecessary, and you really don’t know that until you are silent.
