The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.

The present moment is really all that we have. The only place you can really love another person is in the present. Love in the past is a memory. Love in the future is a fantasy. To be really alive, love - or any other experience - must take place in the present.

To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.

Spiritual life doesn't make you a good person; you ARE a good person, you are a holy being when you are born. What spiritual life does is remind us that this is who we really are.

The quieting of our mind is a political act.

It is the place of feeling that binds us or frees us.

We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.
