Our painful experiences strengthen us in becoming more empathetic, more caring, and deeper human beings. We grow in depth of understanding, with greater appreciation for the miracle of life.

Every stimulus becomes an opportunity to find fresh ways to express your personal vision.

The difference between living and half living is seeing well, looking for associations between things, seeking the connections, being aware of scale and proportion.

"The "art of tea" is a spiritual force for us to share."

When you let go, you lose pain and gain insight.

Don't try to prove anything about yourself to anyone. It isn't necessary. Your worth shines through to others- know your worth.

Slow down. Calm down. Don't worry. Don't hurry. Trust the process.
