Love is a way of living, and not something that you give.

Without silence, there cannot be any real appreciation in life, which is as delicate in its inner fabric as a closed rosebud.

The trees are our lungs, the rivers our circulation, the air our breath, and the earth our body.

Challenges arise to make us aware of our inner purpose.

Either you're a person wondering if you have a soul, or you're a soul who knows that being a person isn't real.

The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.

When awareness expands, events that seem random actually aren't. A larger purpose is trying to unfold through you. When you become aware of that purpose- which is unique for each person- you become like an architect who has been handed the blueprint.
