Don't be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

We think that because we dwell inside our bodies that we are separate from other people who dwell inside theirs.

I can’t say that there are “things” that make me come alive. There are thoughts that make me come alive. Those are thoughts that take me beyond myself; that remind me that there’s a bigger game going on on this planet than simply my own existence; that love works miracles, and how much we need them now.

Until we get to the point where we've had enough of things that hurt and long more than anything for a peaceful love, we are bound to take painful roads. We are destined to play out our frivolous disasters until we declare ourselves finished and done with them. How much pain do we have to suffer before we are sure we want no more? As much, it seems, as we have to until we don't.

Yes, we see that there are problems in the world. But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.

Often faith isn't hoping that good times are coming; it's trying to see that the good times are here.

We are the only species systematically destroying its own habitat.
