You come out of that with a feeling of relaxation and peace. That's very helpful.

Meditation gives me the energy and the strength to do all the things I do in my life. And my life is very full.

I think a lot of it has to do with learning. With the fact that you never stop trying something new.

There is a tonic strength, in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and forgotten. Our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best, in our pursuit of some phantom.

Joy is peace dancing. Peace is joy at rest.

I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions. No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.
