The following quote is from 'Heart Advice, Weekly Quotes From Pema Chodron'.
LIVING WITHOUT AN AGENDA
"Could our minds and our hearts be big enough just to hang out in that space
where we're not entirely certain about who's right and who's wrong?
Could we have no agenda when we walk into a room with another person,
not know what to say, not make that person wrong or right?
Could we see, hear, feel other people as they really are?
It is powerful to practice this way, because we'll find ourselves continually rushing
around to try to feel secure again----to make ourselves or them either right or wrong.
But true communication can happen only in that open space."
