Healing and Psycho-Spiritual Resources
~ John Burroughs"The honey-bee's great ambition is to be rich,
to lay up great stores,
to possess the sweet of every flower that blooms.
She is more than provident.
Enough will not satisfy her,
she must have all she can get by hook or crook."

~ Christopher Gerber"Mindfulness is the core practice of Buddhist psychology…A basic definition of mindfulness is a moment-by-moment awareness…When we are mindful, our attention is not entangled in the past or future. We are not judging or rejecting what is occurring at the moment. We are present. This kind of attention generates energy, clearheadedness, and joy."
