I want my work to create space where people can meet God, rather than give them something they can "apply" to their daily life.

Be sure that you make a difference in the world.

Simply being with someone is difficult because it asks of us that we share in the other's vulnerability, enter with him or her into the experience of weakness and powerlessness, become part of the uncertainty, and give up control and self-determination.

If we want other people to give us something that only God can give, we become a demon. We say, "Love me!" and before you know it we become violent and demanding and manipulative. It's so important that we keep forgiving one another - not once in a while, but every moment of life.

Our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it.

Mysticism is for all, not just for a few special people.

God is a God of the present. God is always in the moment, be that moment hard or easy, joyful and painful.
