Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it

Awareness of the sacred in life is what holds our world together, and the lack of awareness of the sacred is what is tearing it apart.

The secret of life is to let every segment of it produce its own yield at its own pace. Every period has something new to teach us. The harvest of youth is achievement; the harvest of middle-age is perspective; the harvest of age is wisdom; the harvest of life is serenity.

To be contemplative we must remove the clutter from our lives, surround ourselves with beauty, and consciously, relentlessly, persistently, give clutter away until the tiny world for which we ourselves are responsible begins to reflect the raw beauty that is God.

Hospitality is simply love on the loose.

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

Prophets are those who take life as it is and expand it. They refuse to shrink a vision of tomorrow to the boundaries of yesterday.
