The spiritual task of life is to feed hope. Hope is not something to be found outside of us. It lies in the spiritual life we cultivate within. The whole purpose of wrestling with life is to be transformed into the self we are meant to become, to step out of the confines of our false securities and allow our creating God to go on creating. In us.

Beauty scatters the seeds of hope in us.

It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us.

When souls really touch, it is forever. Then space and time disappear, and all that remains is the consciousness that we are not alone in life.

We punish the body and strip the earth. And we do it in pursuit of a so-called holiness that smacks of the bogus, that denies the gifts of God, that makes us marauders on the earth.

Never confuse desire with vision. Desire has to do with what we want. Vision has to do with what we need.

faith isn't faith until it's all we have to hold on to and knowledge fails us. When we pray for faith, we automatically pray for darkness. Think about it.
