At the end of our life our questions are simple: Did I live fully? Did I love well?

The trouble is that you think you have time.

Your happiness and suffering depend on your actions and not on my wishes for you.

Train your mind the same way you’d train a puppy: Be patient, be consistent, and have some fun along the way.

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.

We need a repeated discipline, a genuine training, in order to let go of our old habits of mind and to find and sustain a new way of seeing.

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.
