A lifetime may not be long enough to attune ourselves fully to the harmony of the universe. But just to become aware that we can resonate with it -- that alone can be like waking up from a dream.

Any change in attitude changes the way one sees the world, and this in turn changes the way one acts.

Gratefulness is the gallantry of a heart ready to rise to the opportunity a given moment offers.

Through people that I did know or through things that I did touch, I am connected with everything that ever was and everything that ever will be. Everything hangs together with everything.

Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

One single gift acknowledged in gratefulness has the power to dissolve the ties of our alienation.

"The Holy Spirit . . . wants to flow through us and realize all these wonderful possibilities in the world - if we only open ourselves and allow it to happen."
