If we can't give the whole of our attention to someone -- or, for that matter, to any moment -- then we can't listen. If we can't listen, we can't possibly hear the whole story...

The Kingdom of Heaven -- the True Self for which we seek -- dwells within us, and above us at the same time. To sense this as true, even in the smallest way, is an invitation and an instruction, all at once.
