We're always looking for the Big Love, the Big High, the next Big Thing to happen. We miss what's in front of us.

You will never stop wanting more until you allow yourself to have what you already have. To take it in. Savor it. Now is a good time to do that . . .

If LOVE could talk to you about your relationship with food, what would it say?

It matters whether you see yourself as someone who is capable of effecting change or whether you see yourself as someone whose voice does not count. It matters whether you treat yourself with reverence or with carelessness. Every bit of work you do on yourself matters. Every time you choose love, it matters.

Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened.

The purpose of a spiritual path or religion is to provide a precise and believable way into what seems unbelievable.

And if you worry that not finishing the food on your plate is a slap in the face of all the hungry people everywhere, you are not living in reality. The truth is that you either throw the food out or you throw it in, but either way it turns to waste. World hunger will not be solved by finishing the garlic mashed potatoes on your plate.
