What we seek is what we are.

To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.

As surely as there is a voyage away, there is a journey home.

When we let go of our battles and open our hearts to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice.

You need a community. They remind you when you forget, and you remind them when they forget.

Great pain, when it is honored from the heart, opens into great understanding.

It is possible to speak with our heart directly. Most ancient cultures know this. We can actually converse with our heart as if it were a good friend. In modern life we have become so busy with our daily affairs and thoughts that we have lost this essential art of taking time to converse with our heart.
