The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

I see the universe as naturally and infinitely self-correcting.

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we're mad at people, we're angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.

Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.

As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.

I think daily life is where the lessons come in - that's where the tests and the growth come in.

There is a current mythology in our culture that anytime we meet someone and have that "enchanted evening" experience, that experience of looking into the eyes of the other and falling hopelessly in love - that this is nothing more than a delusion; a mutual projection, a fantasy that will only last until reality sets in.
