Birth is violent, whether it be the birth of a child or the birth of an idea.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.

Beyond drama and chaos, beyond anxiety and fear, lies a zone of endless peace and love. Let's all take a very deep breath, slow down for just a moment and remember this. That alone will open the door.

Spiritual growth increases our sense of what's possible. And as we sense new possibility, we can step into that possibility. With every word, every thought, every action, we choose what we wish to call forth in life.

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.

I believe we are shown the path that is right as soon as we ask for it. Then we must live in the world and in some way express what we have learned.
