It is the place of feeling that binds us or frees us.

In the end, just three things matter: How well we have lived How well we have loved How well we have learned to let go

Acceptance does not mean inaction. We may need to respond, strongly at times...From a peaceful center we can respond instead of react. Unconscious reactions create problems. Considered responses bring peace. With a peaceful heart whatever happens can be met with wisdom...Peace is not weak; it is unshakable.

Great spiritual traditions are used as a means to ripen us, to bring us face to face with our life, and to help us to see in a new way by developing a stillness of mind and a strength of heart.

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

Breathing meditation can quiet the mind, open the body, and develop a great power of concentration.

We need a warrior’s heart that lets us face our lives directly, our pains and limitations, our joys and possibilities.
