Within each of us there is a silence as vast as the universe. We long for it. We can return to it.

Be mindful of intention. Intention is the seed that creates our future.

The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

Every individual in the world has a unique contribution.

When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice. Only in this moment can we discover that which is timeless. Only here can we find the love that we seek. Love in the past is simply memory, and love in the future is fantasy. Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.

You awaken your True spirit by way of the broken heart: ragged, vulnerable, fierce and finally compassionate. Chris trod this rough way and shows honestly how it can be done.

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