We will be in tune with our bodies only if we truly love and honor them. We can't be in good communication with the enemy.

We'll always be disappointed if we believe that we can plan for a peak experience and make it happen. True joy can't be anticipated or planned. It just strikes.

It is an act of courage to acknowledge our own uncertainty and sit with it for a while.

Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to.

What initially attracts us and what later becomes 'the problem' are usually one and the same.

There are some things for which there is no apology, and on the question of slavery, there is no adequate apology for ripping people out of their homeland and bringing them here in chains. There is no adequate apology for the ongoing horrific legacy of racism.

Pretending can be a bold form of experimentation and inventiveness. In pretending joy or happiness, we may discover or enhance our capacity for it.
