The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

Change is the very basis of our life, not to be fought, to be welcomed and tasted, to be seen for the gift it truly is.

When we are in a truly loving relationship, we receive the gift of being known and accepted. We become more, not less, of who we are. We receive the space in which to bloom. This is how we know we are in a loving relationship. We are blooming, and the one we love is blooming as well.

If one's sense of self is obtained through the eyes of another it is always subject to being lost.

Relying on another is an expression of attachment, not love, a manifestation of insecurity and suffering, not understanding the true nature of our lives.

we learn the process of emptying out, cleaning house, both within and without.
