the places that scare you

went to my favorite pizza place for lunch (not one of those places that scares me) and popped into a book store on eastern philosophy. A book called 'the places that scare you' jumped out at me and was by Pema Chodron, who is a resident teacher at Gampo Abbey, a Tibetan monastery for westerners in Nova Scotia. My sister told me of this place about a year ago (almost to the day) and I have wanted to go since. It is still part of the plan.

Some things ring true...

The book starts out with,

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye"
