I pull from a place within me that has ultimate faith in the meaningfulness and beauty of human life.
Elizabeth LesserIf spirituality is not religion or cynicism or sentimentality or narcissism, then what is it?... we can confidently say... that spirituality is fearlessness. It is a way of looking boldly at this life we have been given, here, now, on earth, as this human being.

Elizabeth LesserDon't persuade, defend or interrupt. Be curious, be conversational, be real. And listen.
Elizabeth LesserOne practice I rely on all the time is basic meditation which allows me to strip away the noise. It's like the old-fashioned dial on the radio, where you were getting static and then you found that clear, sweet spot on the dial, where the music would come through. That's what meditation is for me. Dialling out the static, the noise, the anxiety, the fear, and coming into a place that's deep and quiet. It's like dropping into a well of inspiration and wisdom.
