I was hanging out with Dave in the smoking lounge at Lambda and there was this little book on a side table, which I picked up and found the following passage, highlighted:
Everyone says the way out is to quiet the mind. So you go through all the austerities to quiet the mind. But you don't have to go through austerities. You (do) have to quiet the mind. And that is all you have to do! The best way to quiet the mind is to be in the moment. Your mind cannot be agitated of you are in this moment.
Tonight when I go back I will see if it is still there so I can give credit where credit is due.

oooops, too late.
have you heard about gettng into the gap?
Shannon, I have bought clothes at the Gap and their slogan used to be 'Fall into the Gap' but I assume you are referring to something much more esoteric. ???
Wow, very powerful stuff.
LOL Scott!!! I in fact was referring to something more esoteric LOL
Its a meditation book by Dr. Wayner Dyer, called getting into the Gap, and that is about how to quiet your mind
But I do like shopping from the Gap as well... LOL
A quiet mind and a peaceful heart are the greatest gifts of sobriety.
