No amount of meditation, yoga, diet, and reflection will make all of our problems go away, but we can transform our difficulties into our practice until little by little they guide us on our way.

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 live life is to make a succession of errors. Understanding this can bring us great ease and forgiveness for ourselves and others.

We must look at our life without sentimentality, exaggeration or idealism. Does what we are choosing reflect what we most deeply value?

When you rest in presence and pure awareness, sometimes everything is experienced as love because you're connected with all that is, and love is simply the nature of being.

We each have been betrayed. Let yourself picture and remember the many ways this is true. Feel the sorrow you have carried from this past. Now sense that you can release this burden of pain by gradually extending forgiveness as your heart is ready.

We need energy, commitment, and courage not to run from our life nor to cover it over with any philosophy—material or spiritual.
