“In sickness and in health, I am in a long-term committed relationship with life.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“When we feel compassion, we remember that we are not alone.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“When great difficulty arises, we tend to remember that what really matters are essential, earthy things, giving and receiving a glass of water, a cup of tea, taking the next breath. It is during the hard times that we notice that life is constantly offering itself to us.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“In sickness and in health, I am in a long-term committed relationship with life.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“We have within us an enormous capacity to heal and open our lives.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“You have your own skills—talking seriously, listening well, allowing silences in which deeper thoughts can develop. It is also probably true that you already know much of what is covered by these experts.”
Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

“On earth, we can all be heroes— not in the sense of being solitary actors brandishing swords, but by daring to put down our defenses and take off the armor to really experience and feel what is happening in any given moment, without fighting or fleeing.”
Tracy Cochran, Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself

“When great difficulty arises, we tend to remember that what really matters are essential, earthy things, giving and receiving a glass of water, a cup of tea, taking the next breath. It is during the hard times that we notice that life is constantly offering itself to us.”
