I was in a state of amazement at the peace I felt within and the beauty I saw without, even in the midst of the traffic. Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now.

To know yourself as the ground of existence; transcendent, timeless, eternal, unchanging and the faith of possibilities in which the entire universe arises and subsides, where time has no meaning, and space and location have no meaning, and yet, this is the formless being that you and I are, and only in this formless inexplicable, unimaginable reality, there is freedom.
