As desire abates, generosity is born. When we are connected and present, what else is there to do but give?

In this there is no judgment and no blame, for we seek not to perfect the world but to perfect our love for what is on this earth.

To meditate is to discover new possibilities, to awaken the capacities of us has to live more wisely, more lovingly, more compassionately, and more fully.

All of spiritual practice is a matter of relationship: to ourselves, to others, to life's situations.

With growing awareness, you can see where you're caught or where you suffer or where you create suffering. You can then turn toward the difficulties that arise in your life with compassion, bow, and say, these too are part of human incarnation.

The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.

What would we have to hold in compassion to be at peace right now? What would we have to let go of to be at peace right now?
