““When we sit we recognize the crucial, divine importance of absolutely everything that arises—every thought, every feeling, every breath, every unspeakable, unnameable impulse. But also we recognize the ultimate importance of the others—of the sky, of all the sounds inside and outside the room. As the mind becomes a little more quiet the sacredness of everything within and without becomes clear to us.””
![“[...]there was always a part of the human mind that was prepared to entertain such notions, particularly at night, in the world of shadows, when there were sounds that one could not understand and when each one of us was in some sense alone.” quote by Alexander McCall Smith](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6f8/alexander-mccall-smith-372_human-mind_there-was-always-a-part-of-the-human-min_536203.jpg)
