"Meditation is not evasion, it is serene encounter with reality --
--Be no less awake than the driver of a car
--Be as awake as a person walking on high stilts
--Be like a medieval knight walking weaponless in a forest of swords
--Be like a lion, going forward with slow, gentle, and firm steps."
--adapted from Thich Nhat Hahn, The Miracle of Mindfulness
