If you allow yourself to deepen with midlife, your experience of everything deepens, including your experience of God.

At the highest level of awareness, the greatest gift given and received when you give someone flowers, is the joy of living a life based on love.

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

We live in a self-organizing and self-correcting universe. For every problem, there is a potentially miraculous solution. A closed heart deflects the miracle, while an open heart brings it forth....In every moment, we make a choice between the heavenly awareness of our connection to all living things, or the hell of the delusion that we are separate and alone. The mind will manufacture according to our choice; whichever we choose, we will seem to experience.

What we really need to avoid is this epidemic of false positivism and false happiness, which says if it hurts, it must be bad. Sometimes it hurts because you have a conscience.

Whomever it is you were born to be, whatever your soul was coded to accomplish, whatever lessons you were born to learn, now is the time to get serious and get going.

God gives us His strength by giving us His vision of things. Our seeing people as innocent is the only way to achieve God’s peace.
