° “In the most difficult place, in the place where we have no power and are vulnerable, in the crisis, in the catastrophe… in the assaults we are subject to, it is the heart we must bring forth. In the heart we must stand true and clear. The sun is the heart, the moon is the heart. The morning star is the heart. When grave travail assails us, we can become clear and true, right there in the fire. For it is easy to be true in the calm, good moment or day. Where it matters, where our work lies, is in the other places where we feel alone, desperate, frightened, without allies. Where we feel helpless and compromised. Here is the place of true practice. Here is the place where the heart’s wings become sacred presence and being.”
