“In meditation we let boredom itself be an object of interest to explore.  When it arises, feel the boredom.  Note it, feel its texture, its energy, the pains and tension in it, the resistances to it.  Look directly at the workings of this quality in the body and mind.  We can finally stop running away or resisting it.  Insight, consciousness, freedom, are to be found not in some other experience, in some other moment, but in any moment in which we really learn to pay attention.”
– Jack Kornfield – Seeking the Heart of Wisdom by Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield.
