the nearest patch of life

When confusion or pain seems to tighten what is possible, when sadness or frustration shrinks your sense of well-being, when worry or fear agitates the peace right out of you, try lending your attention to the nearest thing. . . . Give your full attention over to the nearest patch of life--to how an apple peels and juices--and after a while each thing attended will reveal yet another way back to the center. -
