Consciousness will not always solve the problem, but it may make the suffering meaningful.

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

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

Rage and bitterness do not foster femininity. They harden the heart and make the body sick.

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

A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion, burns away what is no longer relevant, gradually reveals our essence, until, at last, we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth.

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.
