Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.

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

I'm deeply disturbed by the ways in which all of our cultures are demonizing the other. This is why I'm launching a new initiative, and it's to help all of us, myself included, to counteract the tendency to otherize.

I know that if we allow ourselves into the gridlock of tribalism, we're in trouble.

Your path is your own, but you must walk side by side with others, with compassion and generosity as your beacons. If anything is required it is this: fearlessness in your examination of life and death; Willingness to continually grow; and openness to the possibility that the ordinary is extraordinary, and that your joys and your sorrows have meaning and mystery

Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life.

Adversity is a natural part of being human. It is the height of arrogance to prescribe a moral code or health regimen or spiritual practice as an amulet to keep things from falling apart.
