Seek the truth, not what is comfortable. Seek the real, not the easy.

True growth is a process which one allows to happen rather than causes to happen.

Zen is not about eliminating thoughts but illuminating them.

To experience a little hunger now and then can be a beautiful reminder of the deeper hunger of our souls.

Mysterious as it may be, there is something wonderful at the heart of our existence, and it is about nothing other than love; love for God, love for one another, love for creation, love for life itself.

Grief is neither a disorder nor a healing process; it is a sign of health itself, a whole and natural gesture of love. Nor must we see grief as a step toward something better. No matter how much it hurts-and it may be the greatest pain in life-grief can be an end in itself, a pure expression of love.

In every feeling, look deeply. Explore without ceasing. At bottom, love is.
