My favorite time of day is…

Before dawn, when everything is still quiet and the world is just beginning to wake up.

I started practicing mindfulness…

I started practicing meditation in college and haven’t stopped since.

Three things I can’t live without are…

Silence. Books. Sun.

These three things I never thought I’d be doing…

Leave the monastery where I was living. Move to New York City. Enjoy the change.

I’m inspired by …

People who throw themselves wholeheartedly into their lives.

My guilty pleasure is…

Buying books faster than I can read them.

The best advice I ever got was…

Give yourself time.

The most important things on my bucket list are…

I don’t have a bucket list. I just try to live as fully as I can.

The last thing I do at night is...

Say a short prayer.
