One does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.

The soul is the river of energy that animates who we are.

Diversity is good. We need each other's ideas.

Life is like a school; one can learn, one can graduate, one can skip a grade or stay behind.
