Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.

Taking the time to meditate is as important as taking the time to breathe. One pumps oxygen into the body, the other pumps peace into the mind.

Ego says, "Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace". Spirit says, "Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place".

It isn't courageous to go forth when you don't know the dangers. But it's very courageous to go forth when you do.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification.

We need to shift from an economic to a humanitarian organizing principle for human civilization. And women, en masse, should be saying so.

Of course, a woman's choice to go out into the world is a very significant thing. But part of real liberation is recognizing that mothering is every bit as important as other kinds of work. I actually believe it's more important than anything we do out in the world.
