Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

Each string of a wind harp responds with a different note to the same breeze. What activity makes you personally resonate most strongly, most deeply?

Among the many things that profoundly impress me about the Dalai Lama, quite high up on the list is his ability to say "I don't know". I've often wished that other people in prominent positions wouldn't feel the compulsion to have an answer for everything and would feel equally free to say "I don't know." It's a sign of wisdom to know that you don't know and a sign of stupidity to think that you know everything. I admire it enormously in him, and wonder why so few people in leading positions reach that stage.

Faith is the courageous confidence that trusts in the Source of all gifts.

What brings fulfillment is gratefulness, the simple response of our heart to this life in all its fullness.

Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual.
