Moment of Silence
Readings/Teaching: Brad Ruggles

For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.
– Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 (NRSV)

Life is a balance between holding out and letting go.
— Rumi

The Force is not a power you have. It’s not about lifting rocks. It’s the energy between all things, a tension, a balance, that binds the universe together.
— Luke Skywalker

In whatever position one is in, or in whatever condition in life one is placed, one must find balance. Balance is the state of the present – the here and now. If you balance in the present, you are living in Eternity.
— B.K.S. Iyengar
