What does it mean to approach each moment, each day, as if it’s the most ordinary day? How would it feel to do that? And what if it’s not an ordinary day?

No matter how momentous, no matter how terrible, be there, and be kind. Be kind, be compassionate, be patient and generous – practice these, in each moment. Let wisdom float to the surface before saying or doing anything, any time. I’m learning that the best day of life and the worst are ordinary and not different, with practice. And I’m learning how reassuring and comforting that is.
