The Pleasure of Simply Being

‎”Whenever you try to exert control over the natural ebb and flow of life, you end up either frustrated or disappointed– because it can’t be controlled. Whenever you apply effort to trying to relax and slow down, you produce the opposite effect. Whenever you try to dictate the outcome of your meditation you negate its most wondrous benefit– the pleasure of simply being.”
-Paul Wilson, The Quiet
