Compassion is our deepest nature. It arises from our interconnection with all things.

Refraining from false speech: speech from the heart. Undertake for one week not to gossip (positively or negatively) or speak about anyone you know who is not present with you (any third party).

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

Everybody needs to take some time, in some way, to quiet themselves and really listen to their heart.

We have only now, only this single eternal moment opening and unfolding before us, day and night.

Everyone and everything is in some degree or other our teacher.

We can bring our spiritual practice into the streets, into our communities, when we see each realm as a temple, as a place to discover that which is sacred.
