You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds Except the one in which you belong.

Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. The kettle is singing even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots have left their arrogant aloofness and seen the good in you at last. All the birds and creatures of the world are unutterably themselves. Everything is waiting for you.

To remember the other world in this world is to live in your true inheritance.

The price of our vitality is the sum of all our fears

Silence is like a cradle holding our endeavors and our will; a silent spaciousness sustains us in our work and at the same time connects us to larger worlds that, in the busyness of our daily struggle to achieve, we have not yet investigated. Silence is the soul's break for freedom.

The marvelous thing about a good question is that it shapes our identity as much by the asking as it does by the answering.

It doesn't interest me if there is one God or many gods. I want to know if you belong or feel abandoned. If you know despair or can see it in others.
