Love, Gratitude, Wonder, Connection, Refuge
5. “The great gift of a spiritual path is coming to trust that you can find a way to true refuge. You realize that you can start right where you are, in the midst of your life, and find peace in any circumstance. Even at those moments when the ground shakes terribly beneath you—when there’s a loss that will alter your life forever—you can still trust that you will find your way home. This is possible because you’ve touched the timeless love and awareness that are intrinsic to who you are.” Tara Brach Spirituality, Peace, Refuge, Awareness, Trust
8. “In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love. We need only pause, breathe, and open to the experience of aliveness within us. In that wakeful openness, we come home to the peace and freedom of our natural awareness.” Tara Brach Presence, Love, Refuge, Peace, Freedom
10. “We find true refuge whenever we recognize the silent space of awareness behind all our busy doing and striving. We find refuge whenever our hearts open with tenderness and love. We find refuge whenever we connect with the innate clarity and intelligence of our true nature.” Tara Brach Refuge, Awareness, Love, Clarity, Intelligence
24. “The ghetto was not only a place of refuge for a persecuted minority but a great experiment in peace, in self-discipline and in humanism. As such, it still exists and refuses to give up in spite of all the brutality that surrounds it. I was brought up among those people.” Isaac Bashevis Singer Ghetto, Refuge, Humanism, Resilience, Community
26. “A hermitage in the forest is the refuge of the narrow-minded misanthrope; a hammock on the ocean is the asylum for the generous distressed. The ocean brims with natural griefs and tragedies; and into that watery immensity of terror, man’s private grief is lost like a drop.” Herman Melville Ocean Asylum, Private Grief, Ocean, Grief, Hermitage, Refuge
