I don't want to lean back into the past, or forward into the future. I don't want to wish the present moment away. The truth is in the present moment. The great paradox is that when I'm really able to do that, time slows down and opens up. Time feels suddenly and inexplicably without end.

If we grew up with nothing, we're complicated with that. That's the thing I keep hearing from people.

I needed to slow down and quiet down deeply into a lot of these questions, yet at the same time what I was looking for, and continue to, is a way to have this exist within a regular, normal, modern life.

There's something about urban life - you walk out your door, and you're in a steady of stream of life happening around you, and it's very easy to get caught up in that stream and simply kind of keep on moving.

All there is to do, right at this very moment, is to breathe in, breathe out, and kiss the joy as it flies.

In every generation there is a vault-keeper, one who guards the links fiercely and knows they are more precious than rubies.

From spiritual connection springs kindness, connection, social activism, and love.
