The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it's to grow the soul.

To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against.

The spiritual journey is what the soul is up to while we attend to daily living.

The reason I spend thousands of lifetime hours creating something 99 percent of which no one else is likely to ever read is that writing itself is the gift.

We cannot think without language, we cannot process experience without story.

Spiritual energy brings compassion into the world.

Ritual is the way you carry the presence of the sacred. Ritual is the spark that must not go out.
