An honorable spiritual practice recognizes the losses we have suffered, tells our story, and sheds our tears to free us from the past.

Each moment of every day is new and then it vanishes. Where is that day? Where is that moment?

Spiritual life doesn't make you a good person; you ARE a good person, you are a holy being when you are born. What spiritual life does is remind us that this is who we really are.

True emptiness is not empty, but contains all things. The mysterious and pregnant void creates and reflects all possibilities. From it arises our individuality, which can be discovered and developed, although never possessed or fixed.

When repeated difficulties do arise, our first spiritual approach is to acknowledge what is present, naming, softly saying 'sadness, sadness', or 'remembering, remembering', or whatever.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.
