Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

All things show up in the world according to the purposes we ascribe to them.

My story has been the story of my generation.

The way of the miracle-worker is to see all human behavior as one two things: either love, or a call for love.

The wisdom that comes from having experienced heartbreak cannot be bequeathed; it can only be gained through experience. And having truly felt it, we are far more likely to have compassion for others. Anything that takes us close to true compassion takes us closer to what will one day be an experience of even greater joy.

I realize that the curriculum is my life on any given day. At this point, more than anything, my spiritual path means looking at every circumstance and trying to see my part in where it's good and where it's not so good.

I believe that ultimately it all comes down to whether we seek conscious contact with God on a daily basis through prayer and meditation.
