The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.

Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.

Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.

The ultimate act of power is surrender.

Let's just chant and be good people, alright?

One of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.
