For too long, reporters for the big media outlets have been fixated on novelty, always moving too quickly onto the next big score or the next hot get. Paradoxically, in these days of instant communication and sixty-minute news cycles, it's actually easier to miss information we might otherwise pay attention to. That's why we need stories to be covered and re-covered until they filter up enough to become part of the cultural bloodstream.

It's time for our business and political leaders to help redefine morality beyond sex, drugs, and rock and roll to include lying, hypocrisy, and callous indifference to those in need.

When life is at that extremely hard time, all we can control is our attitude.

It’s not ‘What do I want to do?’, it’s ‘What kind of life do I want to have?’

Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an afterlife.

We forget we’re mostly water till the rain falls and every atom in our body starts to go home.

To speak about this universal force that will lead us beyond on the last horizon of our known self toward a wiser, more loving, more luminous states of being, we do not need to invent a new language. But we do need to listen to the old, the ancient one, not with our jaded minds, but with our awakened souls.
