When we accept life as it is, we can respond appropriately to the way we're experiencing it, rather than just reacting out of fear and aversion. — Ajahn Sumedho
I've always been a very restless person. I work hard, spend too much time looking after my son, I dance like a mad thing, I learned calligraphy.
