consciousness, compassion & practice

Begin with what is in front of you.

The present moment is all anyone ever has: the past is gone, the future hasn't arrived, all we have is this. Preside over what is here and now, act, and then allow yourself to dissolve into the next moment.
Cultivate flourishing. Alleviate suffering.

We are all expressions of the same light: conscious experience. We should strive to create a biosphere of peace and flourishing. We should alleviate unwanted pain and suffering whenever it arises.
Approach truth by eliminating error. Hold lightly what remains.

Truth is approached by noticing what is false and setting it down. What remains is our current best understanding.
Take small steps, go gently, keep going.

A small step is the smallest version of an action that still counts as doing it. The trick is not to make the work smaller but to make the step smaller.
