“Don’t be reverent when you sit. Be alive—inside and out, to yourself and what’s around you. Meditating is not an opportunity to be holy or to zone out, but to wake up even if it’s to awaken to the ache of the world—or your knee or a sniffle—what do they feel like? A memory arises—where did it come from?—where is it going? And who is thinking? Get to work. No slacking.” (Natalie Goldberg, The True Secret of Writing)
