To sing means to sense and to affirm that the spirit is real and that its glory is present.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Knowledge-like the sky- is never private property. No teacher has a right to withhold it from anyone who asks for it. Teaching is the art of sharing.

Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living.

We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.
