When we struggle to change ourselves we, in fact, only continue the patterns of self-judgement and aggression. We keep the war against ourselves alive.

We as human beings have the amazing capacity to be reborn at breakfast everyday and say, “This is a new day.”

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

...Spiritual opening is not a withdrawal to some imagined realm or safe cave. It is not a pulling away, but a touching of all the experience of life with wisdom and with a heart of kindness, without any separation.

The wholeness and freedom we seek is our true nature, who we really are.

You need a community. They remind you when you forget, and you remind them when they forget.

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.
