Truth

The simple truth is that almost all of us who are able to see the print on these pages will not exist within a century. Our bodies will be ash or rotting in a box. Given that truth, the ultimate truth of existence, what do you consider important, valuable or compelling? Given that truth, what motivates you to be mindful and compassionate? 

Answering these questions daily for myself is the ultimate challenge of living a good life. Living up to my answers is the ultimate challenge of my practice.
