We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform.

The change we are looking for is always a change within ourselves. And the change will come. I've noticed that as long as I'm willing to be different, something or someone arrives to show me how.

So it is that a new politics centers around the arousal of that power, using prayer and meditation to create a force field of transformation.

My hope is that I'm getting better and wiser. With every book, I have more of myself to pour onto the page.

Let's forgive the past and who we were then. Let's embrace the present and who we're capable of becoming. Let's surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.

I'm not a doom-and-gloom person. But I think there is a difference between transcendence and denial, and much of the Western world is in major denial today.
