Silence has a regenerative power of its own. It is always sacred. It always returns you home.

The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.

Silence has a regenerative power of its own. It is always sacred. It always returns you home.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

A lot of people don't know what they want or they want much less than they deserve.

That experience showed me that I-from moment to moment-am the only person in control of my connection to God. It's not that God is deciding to connect with me, depending on whether I had a good day, or did good or bad deeds. It's all up to me. God, the awareness of God, the love of God, the blessings of God-that lively ecstasy-is always there. It's me who separates from God by judging, by indulging in negativity, by criticizing myself, as well as others.

If you don't develop your skill at enjoying what you have, you won't be any happier when you get more.
