Love is a state of being in harmony with oneself.

We either get success or lessons. If we learn our lessons successfully, we get both.

To love ourselves is to act respectfully toward ourselves, to enjoy our own company when in solitude, to honor our limits and speak our truths.

Peace is not merely the absence of warfare, any more than true health is simply the absence of disease. Nor is peace simply a quiet state of equilibrium-impossible to achieve in an evolving system. Though refraining from harm is an essential first step, lasting peace is created by actively redressing harm done. Peace is a creative process of actively joining I and thou into a co-creative we. It requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.

Like a garden that is carefully tended, the rewards are well worth the effort.

The material world may be nothing but illusion.

The cultural transformation from the love of power to the power of love is the drama of our time.
