We all experience 'soul moments' in life-when we see a magnificent sunrise, hear the call of the loon, see the wrinkles in our mother's hands, or smell the sweetness of a baby. During these moments, our body, as well as our brain, resonates as we experience the glory of being a human being.

The longing for sweets is really a yearning for love or sweetness.

But if you travel far enough, one day you will recognize yourself coming down to meet yourself. And you will say - yes.

If we could allow the pace of our meetings to slow down to the pace of our hearts, we might find genuine understanding.

If you are living for an ideal and driving yourself as hard as you can to be perfect - at your job or as a mother or as a perfect wife - you lose the natural, slow rythmn of life. There's a rushing, trying to attain the ideal; the slower pace of the beat of the earth, the state where you simply are, is forgotten

s past history and stand alone.

At the very point of vulnerability is where the surrender takes place-that is where the god enters. The god comes through the wound.
