Nervous breakdowns can be highly underrated methods of spiritual transformation.

Your life has purpose as long as you dedicate it to love. It's not what we do but who we are that forms our biggest contribution.

Relationships are eternal. The 'separation' is another chapter in the relationship. Often, letting go of the old form of the relationship becomes a lesson in pure love much deeper than any would have learned had the couple stayed together.

When infants aren't held, they can become sick, even die. It's universally accepted that children need love, but at what age are people supposed to stop needing it? We never do. We need love in order to live happily, as much as we need oxygen in order to live at all.

Forgiveness is 'selective remembering'--a conscious decision to focus on love and let the rest go.

We were born with a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a richer world, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous. What happened?

I think the greatest gift we can give our children is to show them that devotion to God's purposes - love for all beings - is the center of all right living.
