Virtue and integrity are necessary for genuine happiness. Guard your integrity with care.

Anger shows us precisely where we are stuck, where our limits are, where we cling to beliefs and fears.

In deep self acceptance, grows a compassionate understanding.

There are no holy places and no holy people, only holy moments, only moments of wisdom.

Within the mystery of life there is the infinite darkness of the night sky lit by distant orbs of fire, the cobbled skin of an orange that releases its fragrance to our touch, the unfathomable depths of the eyes of our lover. No creation story, no religious system can fully describe or explain this richness and depth. Mystery is so every-present that no one can know for certain what will happen one hour from now. “ It does not matter whether you have religion or are an agnostic believe in nothing, You can only appreciate (without knowing or understanding) the mysteries of life.

Grant that I have enough suffering that my heart really opens to the great compassion of this world, that I be given enough so that I don't wall myself off from the world, that it breaks down the heart and the separation and the ego and the fear, and it lets me touch the nectar, the milk of kindness itself, of something greater.

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.
