Part 1
We can imagine almost anything save this one unimaginable exception: the dark walls that seem to close in on us in the midst of some unwanted moment are, in fact, nothing more than (parts of) a dark dream born of a mind so asleep to itself... it can’t see it has unconsciously imagined the meaning of that moment it now struggles to escape.
Part 2
A good recipe for being present: In each and every moment, change whatever needs to be changed, accept what cannot be changed, and regardless, use both (set of circumstances) to help reveal, and release you from being attached to, dependent on, and painfully identified with either one.
