I Have No Time to Rush

There's a sense of in some way we don't have enough time. We need to get more done at retreats, at meditation retreats. One woman got a diagnosis of stage four breast cancer and was told she had a year to live. And her mantra became, I have no time to rush. When I am busy, when I'm on my way somewhere else, my heart is not responding tenderly to what's right in front of me. If we hear the news and we're not awake in our bodies and awake in our hearts, we will have an abstract compassion.
