Muutin mieleni

I have changed my mind about a hundred things 
Effort in mediation is one example. 
I used to think that to become free 
you had to practice like a samurai warrior, 
but now I understand that you have to practice 
like a devoted mother of a newborn child. 
It takes the same energy 
but has a completely different quality. 
It's compassion and presence rather than 
having to defeat the enemy in battle.

~ Jack Kornfield
