When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?
~ Thich Nhat Hanh in NO DEATH, NO FEAR
When I retreat at home, I am alone in silence. But I am also with thousands of others around the world, sitting quietly, all of us bonded together in our effort, our solitude, and our prayers... We are opening our hearts, alone but all-one, joining others throughout the centuries in timeless realms.
