Spirituality is the intersection of three paths: letting go of ego, an unconditional yes to the conditions of human existence, and an immeasurable compassion.

In mindful grief, we become the landing strip that allows any feelings to arrive. Some crash, some land softly. Some harm us, but none harm us in a lasting way. We remain as they taxi away or as their wreckage is cleared away. We can trust that we will survive.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.

Mindful grief means mourning and letting go of the past without expectation, fear, censure, blame, shame, control and so forth. Without such mindful grief, neither past nor person can be laid to rest.

We were born with four words engraved on our bodies and in our hearts: Love me, hold me.

We do not live on the Earth, we are a part of how the Earth lives.

We can actually reconstruct our past by examining what we think, say, feel, expect, believe, and do in an intimate relationship now.
