The Quote

Deb: center down.

Ed: may I be well, may I be happy, may all things go well for me.

Ed & Deb’s advice

Find the still beneath the trauma, beneath the waves. And to do this, begin to sit quietly, begin to sit still.
Go into the pain, but don’t fight it, and know that you’re bigger than your feelings.
Remember, that you can’t take yourself too seriously.

Ed & Deb’s go-to books

Zen Flesh Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings, Paul Reps
