“. . .There are moments when time does stop. We must be alert enough to notice such moments . . .”

“When we refuse to work with our disappointment, we break the Precepts: rather than experience the disappointment, we resort to anger, greed, gossip, criticism. Yet it's the moment of being that disappointment which is fruitful; and, if we are not willing to do that, at least we should notice that we are not willing. The moment of disappointment in life is an incomparable gift that we receive many times a day if we're alert. This gift is always present in anyone's life, that moment when 'It's not the way I want it!”

“We never can just stop time. Or take moments back. Life doesn't work that way, does it?”

“Peace, that glorious moment in time when everyone stops and reloads.”

“Time for us began to be measured by moments when we spoke, and moments when we longed to speak again.”

“All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber.”
