Every heart has a divine intelligence and natural guidance system. With every prayer, every meditation and every thought of love, we tune in to ours.

You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.

I think we all need to be looking to the better angels of our own selves. We don't need to be looking for great people so much as becoming great people.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.

Again--nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.

Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse.
