To be human is to be lost in the woods.

Fear is a sneaky thief, stealing away precious moments of your life.

Not only must we follow the golden thread towards spiritual freedom, but we must also unravel the garden-variety twine that is wrapped tightly around our hearts and minds.

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

We don't need anymore empowered people who are all about the ego.

We need each other's ideas. Now, I'm not talking about racist ideas or misogynistic ideas or cruel or criminal ideas. I'm talking about most of us who have very varied experiences, needs and ideas. It's really about believing that it's an important part of healing America.

I have noticed if I pull from fear or despair about the state of the world, I get tired, ineffective, afraid and sometimes mean-spirited.
