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.

The goal of practice is always to keep our beginner's mind.

In deep self acceptance, grows a compassionate understanding.

Every individual has a unique contribution.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.

In a society that almost demands life at double time, speed and addictions numb us to our own experience. In such a society, it is almost impossible to settle into our bodies or stay connected with our hearts, let alone connect with one another or the earth where we live.

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