“All spiritual practice is about remembering, for me. This is my spiritual practice. It’s about paying attention so that when these moments happen, I can be conscious of them. So, when the ‘love serve remember’ message comes through in the form of a mushroom, in the form of Maharaj-ji, in the form of someone asking me for some change, in the form of my own mother, any way that it approaches, my practice is to try to remember.” –Dakota Wint
