Even in my darkest hours, in the moments when all is lost, when I have felt as though I cannot go on - I couldn't possibly continue - I can always come back to the breath.

Boudhanath - This Precious Life

There is such natural beauty in this world, such grand splendor amongst the inconceivable suffering.

Now is such a blessing, a gift, I hope to never squander it, never waste it, but appreciate its every nuance as one never knows what will come next. This precious life is so beautiful. Despite the pain there is always more of love. When you fall, stand up. When all is lost just breathe. When you lose your mind, come back.
