In all the huge and amazing and infinitely varied world--there is only one you.

It takes mystical insight to see the beauty and innocence in each other, even when that is not what we are showing to the world. That is why God is needed in intimate relationships, to move us beyond the perceptions that can so often poison love.

Love is a wave flowing in the direction of bliss for all living things. It will carry you if you allow it to flow through you.

We experience who we really are, and what it is we are meant to do, in any moment when we pour our love into the universe.

Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.

It's been fascinating over the last few years, watching the high and mighty in business and politics fall precipitously-not because their plans didn't work, but because their character flaws undercut those plans. Whether the microphone caught them making racist comments or their greed overcame their common sense, who they were as people made all the difference-more than their résumés, their degrees, or even their past successes. If you fail at the art of being human and staying human, you recklessly court disaster.

We have great power to affect the attitudes and behavior of the people around us, at work and at home. We have the power to set a tone of honor, to create an energy around ourselves that says, 'I respect myself. I respect you. Let's respect each other.'
