We are awakened to the profound realization that the true path to liberation is to let go of everything.

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.

Everything has a beginning and an ending. Make peace with that and all will be well...In life we cannot avoid change, we cannot avoid loss. Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

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

The waves do keep coming, so learn to surf.

Only a deep attention to the whole of our life can bring us the capacity to love well and live freely.

Love is based on our capacity to trust in a reality beyond fear, to trust a timeless truth bigger than all our difficulties.
