A holy relationship is where the brokenness and wounds of the world are not escaped so much as as transformed by love, not hidden from but risen above.

Dear God, I surrender this thought to you, for I would see the miracle that lies behind it. Amen.

Until we see love as the meaning of life, life seems to have no meaning at all. The sense of meaninglessness produces chaos, and the chaos produces fear. There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.

Without nourishing our own souls, we can't nourish the world, for we cannot give what we do not have. As we attend to our souls, we emanate invisibly and involuntarily the light we have received.

I think that every moment you succumb to cynicism, you're taking energy away from change.

Your life has purpose as long as you dedicate it to love. It's not what we do but who we are that forms our biggest contribution.

I think every writer lives for the thought that there will be a moment when somebody reads something on the page and says, "Yes!"
