Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.

Letting people in is largely a matter of not expending the energy to keep them out.

Our job this day is to become part of the answer to the world's immense and protracted suffering rather than continuing our ancient task of being part of the difficulty.

What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.

Perfectionism is slow death.

I can't be found in myself; I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.

You're wrong means that I don't understand you, I'm not seeing what you're seeing- and I'm not seeing all of you there is to see. But there is nothing wrong with you. You are what you need to be, doing what you need to be doing, and although I may take steps to protect myself of others, I do not know all and therefore am literally inadequate to judge.
