When we are able to receive life's challenges as koans rather than problems, they become interesting and exciting, rather than ponderous and depressing.

All conflict we experience in the world, is a conflict within our own selves.

The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you.

A time of uncertainty, of not knowing exactly where we're headed, or what kind of choice to make is a Zen moment.

We create a mask to meet the masks of others. Then we wonder why we cannot love, and why we feel so alone.

All experiences are welcomed and fully digested, not judged good or bad.

Who you are is always enough. If your partner wants something different, it does not reflect upon you, but upon their needs and fantasies.
