To live a present and awakened life, simply be responsive to the moment. It is very simple. If you are hungry, eat. If you are thirsty, drink. If you are lonely, call a friend for tea. If you are overwhelmed with too much company, then get away by yourself.

Your gift to God is honesty. God's gift to you is truth.

Wanting others to love you, you give away your heart. Wanting others to see you, you give away your eyes.

Me, me, me! Mine, mine, mine! I'm right, I'm right, I'm right. What's in it for me? How do I use this? How do I take advantage of it? This is the way of the ego. Own this within yourself and you will begin to release yourself from it.

Waking up is not serious. It is a gentle remembering and an honoring of the present moment as the truth of life.

I cannot tell you anything that you don't already know, but it is known in silence.

It's not them, it's you. It's not there, it's here. It's not then, it's now.
