Hi Happy, I've added a '+ Read More' link on the main page of EM under 'LATEST FROM TWITTER' so you can view the entire history of tweets.
Best wishes,

Hi Jon,

That is wonderful quote. Thank you for sharing it :)

I would love to hear any more you have. Being a bookworm, I would be interested to know where the quotes come from because I am always on the look out for interesting new reading material.

Also, although I am on Twitter, I think there is a place for quotes here on the forum too. They don't get "lost" so easily.

Thanks again.

Hi Vicky,
I often jot down quotes when I'm reading and my quote document is now 20,000 words long. If you would like that doc emailed to you, PM me and I'll sent if off.
Cheers,
Jon

I'm very interested in those quotes also, Jon! I love them! And I bet a lot of other people too. Maybe we could figure out a nice solution. Maybe a WordPress page, or indeed maybe one each day on the forum, if some debate about them is welcomed. One doesn't necessarily exclude the other.

Hi Peter. I'll forward those quotes to you forthwith.
I should say that they're not just about mindfulness and meditation. There's also plenty of stuff on my pet subjects - Zen, Taoism, non-duality.
Cheers,
Jon
