You've had a whole lot of experience, but everything is also radically new at each moment, and you have to bring a kind of childlike second-level innocence to bear upon all situations, if you are going to be of use and you are going to really learn from the situation or the people.

Just as you would not neglect seeds that you planted with hope that they will bear vegetables and fruits and flowers, so must you attend to nourish the garden of your becoming.

We're in a decaying culture now. Naturally, the young people in the culture are going to feel themselves to be products of the decay.

We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.

Engaging it produces an intense force, which in turn produces a mutation in consciousness. You become who you really are.

Love to me is - the final lines in Dante's Paradiso, when he says, "The love that moves the Sun and all the stars" - it's what draws us together, it's why we have leaky margins with each other. It is that sumptuous, sensuous, sensitive quickening that happens when we really know ourselves as love and see ourselves as loving.

My prayer is, let me be a blessing to someone or something today.
