I'm in a body, and when my sleep ends, I'm awake. I don't really understand the... that's not really a choice. I mean unless I chose to stay in bed, but I'd still be awake.

I'm very happy when I have time to just be.

Why I wake up in the morning is that I'm still alive, and I want to figure out whatever I can before it's over.

When I was twenty, and my family were business people, and I had disappeared to India and they were like, "What are you doing?" I had a good relationship with them, and it wasn't like a rejection or anything, but they couldn't understand why I was going to India.

I have a son, and I was married for twenty years, and I got divorced, and there's a new woman in my life, and my son is 18, and I'm interested to see how he's growing.

I like waking up in the morning when I don't have to get up and think about the next thing, and I can just be present with the feeling of being alive, I guess.

I know what the teaching is, but to realize the teaching in a life experience, the sh*t really is an opportunity to find out who we truly are. To really learn and to awaken to our potential.
