Everything connects to everything; therefore, as we change, the world cannot but change with us.

Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?

The word "politics" comes from the Greek politeia which had to do with the citizenry, not the government.

Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.

We need to recognize that part our political problem is that we do not participate effectively, that we suffer from a kind of mental slumber.

Beyond drama and chaos, beyond anxiety and fear, lies a zone of endless peace and love. Let's all take a very deep breath, slow down for just a moment and remember this. That alone will open the door.

The spiritual journey has to do with learning to think more deeply and take as long a time as we need. That's the path to wisdom.
