Find New Strength in
Awakened Attention
|
We suffer because we consort with painful thoughts and feelings, thinking somehow that not wanting them makes them go away. But our unconscious actions betray us: first, by animating what makes us ache, and then by binding us to that relationship through our resistance to it...Not wanting our negative states actually nourishes them! |

It takes so little to make people happy. Just a touch, if we know how to give it, just a word fitly spoken, a slight readjustment of some bolt or pin or bearing in the delicate machinery of a soul.
- Frank Crane
If we pay attention and really listen to people, it's easy to determine what is important to them and to use that awareness to make a difference in their world. If someone puts great effort into their appearance, we might note it when they look particularly nice; if someone is a conscientious worker, we might praise them when they put in extra effort. When we truly notice people and focus on what makes them special, we can touch them deeply with just a few well-chosen words.
- Julia Melges-Brenner, editor of Kajama |
