Happiness & Sweetness

Suffering is created by wanting things to be other than they are.  It’s that simple.  As soon as we relax into how they are–as soon as we stop the War With Reality–happiness and sweetness begin to subtly arise, dusting our insides not with craving and aversion, but with equanimity  This miracle can happen even in the midst of the most difficult of human vicissitudes.
