The love in me salutes the love in you.

The love is what's left at the end because it's the bedrock, fundamental reality that gets hidden all the time, but never really goes away.

The deepest feelings always show itself in silence.

What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present.

We cannot give what we do not have: We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful. We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving. Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have but in who we are.

In every moment we make a decision -- whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and thus free myself from fear? Or will I close my heart, project fear instead of extending love, judge others, and thus bind myself to fear? The choice is mine and mine alone.

I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.
