In this there is no judgment and no blame, for we seek not to perfect the world but to perfect our love for what is on this earth.

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

When you rest in presence and pure awareness, sometimes everything is experienced as love because you're connected with all that is, and love is simply the nature of being.

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

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

Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?

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.
