The Importance of Being Present for This Life

"This is the time to steady yourself and it affects everyone else," Zen Master Tic-Nah says. "You can be a beacon, a medicine of the heart for all you touch", he adds. In your family, in your community, in this world, you have this capacity,. And to quiet yourself, to steady, to quiet the mind and tend the heart every day gives you the grounding that reminds you of the courage and dignity you have to move through this with the tears and the humor that is everywhere.
