Assuming that tomorrow will be the same as today is poor preparation for living. It equips us only for disappointment or, more likely, for shock. To live well, to be mentally healthy, we must learn to realize that life is a work in process.

The spiritual response is too often a simplistic one: we abandon God or we blame God for abandoning us.

We each should have 2 pockets: in 1 the message, 'I am dust & ashes;' in the other, 'For me the universe was made.'

No one finds time for prayer. You either take time for it or you don't get it.

A hard heart makes for hard judgments; a compassionate heart understands the humanity of the one we presume to judge.

Our role in life is to bring the light of our own souls to the dim places around us.

We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again.
